"But for the Grace of God" is a song co-written and recorded by Australian country music singer Keith Urban. The song was written by Urban, Charlotte Caffey and Jane Wiedlin. It was released in November 2000 as the third single from his self-titled American debut album. It became his first No. 1 single on the Billboard magazine Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart on February 24, 2001, a position that it spent one week at.

The song ended a two-and-a-half-year streak in which no artist on the Capitol Records label achieved a Number One single on the country charts.[2]

Single and album version differences

Both radio-edit and album-length versions have been issued. The radio edit excises a musical bridge after the second chorus and has a slightly different ending than the album cut.

Music Video

The music video for this song has aired on CMT and GAC.
