Singer-songwriter, healthcare chaplain, and podcast host Rick Lee James has released his new Christmas single, Lights of Love, available on all major streaming platforms now.
A moving Christmas ballad, Lights of Love speaks to those who experience both joy and grief during the holiday season. While Christmas is often celebrated with family gatherings and traditions, it can also magnify the absence of those who are no longer with us. Through warm melodies and thoughtful lyrics, the song offers listeners comfort, hope, and the assurance that love continues to shine through the memories we cherish.
"As a hospital chaplain, I've walked alongside many people during some of life's most meaningful and difficult moments," says James. "I've seen how the holidays can bring both celebration and sorrow. Lights of Love was written for anyone who lights a candle, hangs an ornament, or simply pauses to remember someone they miss. My hope is that this song reminds people they are not alone."
Known for combining honest storytelling with themes of grace, hope, and redemption, Rick Lee James has built a career as an independent artist whose music reflects both everyday life and deep faith. In addition to recording and performing, he serves full-time as a healthcare chaplain in Springfield, Ohio and hosts the long-running Voices In My Head (The Rick Lee James Podcast), featuring conversations with musicians, authors, filmmakers, and other creative voices.
