Big Daddy Weave's 'Different Light' is a reflective Christian song about how meeting God changes the way a person views their past. The singer admits that before knowing God, he considered much of his life wasted and full of regret. However, he now understands that every step, even the painful ones, was part of God's plan. The scars remain, but they remind him of God's beauty and faithfulness. The song expresses gratitude for how God redeems the past and brings new meaning to old memories, resulting in a fresh perspective and a sense of renewal.

I used to think that everyday before the day I met You had been wasted time
And there are places on that tape that I would so quickly erase if could just rewind
But that�??s not who I am anymore
Cause there�??s no after without before
I see it in a different light
Now I understand the story of my life
Why You brought me to right here where I am tonight
I see it in a different light
I took so many steps that led to nothing but regret and I still wear the scars
But all those pictures in my past now they�??re reminding me of just how beautiful You are
Oh those old songs have a brand new sound
And oh my whole life�??s feeling new somehow
I see it in a different light
