#80 God Gave Me You – Blake Shelton
Dave Barnes, a mainstream Christian music artist from the United States, wrote and released the song “God Gave Me You.” It was the first single from the album What We Want, What We Get, which was released in January 2010. But it wasn’t until the cover of Blake Shelton’s album in 2011 which put it on the map.

Blake listened to the radio when he came across the song on a CCM station. He said the song encouraged him to propose to Miranda, his then-girlfriend. Shelton’s performance was well received and gave him his fifth consecutive number one hit on the charts.
