Country singer Blake Shelton released another hit in 2011 when he debuted his powerful ballad, “God Gave Me You.” He recorded the track for his “Red River Blue” album in Nashville, Tennessee. But before the song ever made it to Music City, Christian songwriter Dave Barnes came up with the idea while vacationing in England.
What began as a “thank you” song for Barnes’s wife became one of Shelton’s most personal and successful singles, and a theme song for married couples inspired by its uplifting message.
