Twelve years ago today, on June 3, 2009, George Strait's
Troubadour album was certified platinum, for sales of one million copies. The record, Strait's 25th studio album, includes two No. 1 singles, "I Saw God Today" and "River of Love," as well as one Top 10 single, the title track.
""I Saw God Today" is such a well-written song,” Strait says of his first single from
Troubadour, written by Rodney Clawson, Monty Criswell and Wade Kirby. “Sometimes we take a lot of things for granted, especially anybody that’s had a child ... If they’re in the delivery room or not — when they first see that child, it truly is a miracle. And you just realize that all of these things that God has given us, sometimes you just take for granted. But if you step back and take a look around, you’ll see what beauty we have around us in the things that He has created for us.”
