With intercuts of her singing on a porch, walking down a street, and in a house. In regards to the music videos concept, Diagle told People "Flowers are delicate and vibrant, a juxtaposition that is quite lovely. They can be easily damaged but also withstand rains and storms. This video embodies the delicate nature of the lyric along with the resilience of withstanding hardship," She continued "It was very important to me to have the sounds present on the track represented visually as well. The second the strings touched the bow, everyone in the room became remade. It was the moment that the typical rush of a video shoot became still and sobering. I'm deeply grateful to all who were a part."{{Cite news|url=https://people.com/music/lauren-daigle-thank-god-i-do-music-video-premiere-exclusive/|title=Lauren Daigle Taps into Her Ethereal Side for the 'Thank God I Do' Music Video — Watch!
