The song, written by Gaye, is a tribute to not only his church upbringing but also to the sound of then-label mate Stevie Wonder, who is given a shout out on the song by Gaye. In the song, he persuades a lady to be positive in difficult times and let her \"love come shining through\". He then moves forward to praise God, similar to how a preacher would recite such passages from The Bible."@en . . . . "1981"^^ . . . . . .
