I can smell the scent of God
In each newly given day
The aroma of His love
As it passes by my way

I smell God in every thunderstorm
That beckons in the sky
In each new blooming flower
And on every Angel, passing by

I can smell a hint of God
On all babies I've held close
For in a babies newborn scent
Is where I sense God, the most

He has held them all before they're born
Before they're given to us to love
It is a scent I'll savor always
A scent, I'll never tire of

I can smell a hint of God
In each new day he's saturated
As He held us all so close
Before we were created
