One song, in particular, started the path of what would be known to be his eventual collection of more number-one hits.

The music video notices a man going through chaotic surroundings. From his arguing neighbors to the lonely rich man that walks past their door as he walks about.

The upbeat tune of the song emphasizes the lyrics, telling us the value and appreciation we should have towards life and how God is a constant reminder of what we should be thankful for.

“But For The Grace of God” shows us that to be happy, we need to learn to love the life given to us, not the life we wish we had. By that, we can be as happy and content as the man in the song.
