A music video was shot for this video at the same time as the video for "Whispers in the Dark", and the two were released around the CD release roughly a month apart. The "Rebirthing" video consists of the band playing in a very bright room with windows showing the sky outside (whereas the "Whispers" video takes place in a dark room filled with rain and rose petals). There are many flashes of a city from above, a man being grabbed by hands from his computer, and finally, a butterfly (to show the song's meaning of new life). Both videos have received play on
Gospel Music Channel .The video has an excess of more than 1,500,000 views on
