It's A Great Day To Be Alive' The Singing Contractors

The talented duo of The Singing Contractors belt out the words to the country classic ‘It’s A Great Day To Be Alive.’

Award-winning country artist Travis released the song in 2000. It quickly climbed the Billboard charts and became an instant classic.

Over the years, countless other artists have lent their voices to the tune, originally written by Darrell Scott. The lyrics of the slow ballad remind us to be grateful for the little blessings in life.

“And it's a great day to be alive
I know the sun's still shining
When I close my eyes
There's some hard times in the neighborhood
But why can't every day be just this good”

Today, The Singing Contractors are putting their own spin on this country tune. Contractors Aaron Gray and Josh Arnett became overnight sensations back in 2015 when they posted a video of them singing ‘How Great Thou Art’ on a job site.

Now, their worship videos have accumulated millions of views and the men are committed to spreading the word of God through their music. Today, they’re taking on a country favorite with ‘It’s A Great Day To Be Alive’ at one of their construction sites.

“Now I look in the mirror and what do I see
A lone wolf there staring back at me
Long in the tooth but harmless as can be
Lord I guess he's doin' alright”

Each and every day, we are blessed by our Father in heaven. Even when the days seem long, let us remember to give thanks to the Lord above.
