Rick Lee James calls for spiritual renewal in this music video, contrasting past failures like lies and burned bridges with a message to replace hatred with love and doubt with trust. The song urges listeners to move through darkness toward divine light and forgiveness.

After the lies you said were true, the compromise you waved on through, I know you're wishing for something new, but the ancient roads are calling you.
Yeah, the same old love is crying out to you. Say it! Where there is hatred, let us love. Where there is doubt, let us trust. Where there is cursing, let us bless. Let us bravely walk through the shadow of death. Shine a light in the darkness.
You burned bridges and destroyed the roads. There's no one left for you to know. You've held grudges and they're dragging you down. If you don't let it go, then you're sure to drown.
But it's not too late to turn it all around. Where there is hatred, let us love. Where there is doubt, let us trust. Where there is cursing, let us bless. Let us bravely walk through the shadow of death. Shine a light in the darkness. It's time to let all the fighting cease. Take up your cross and follow me. Come out and see what love can bring. The lame to walk, the blind to see, the deaf to hear, the mute to speak, the mourners cheer, the lepers clean, the prisoners set free. Shine a light in the darkness. Shine a light in the darkness. Shine a light.
