Perhaps one of the most powerful Country Christian songs of 2010, "This Ain't Nothin'" is a powerful song about an elderly man, who lost his home in a tornado, and the newscaster who interviews him.

It isn't until she passes away that the boy, now grown, realizes that perhaps he was the one who was blind all along.
