my two cents:
This year (2022) is Toby Mac's first album release since the Fentanyl overdose/death of his 21 year old son, Truett, in 2019.  
His son played guitar, so I don't think it's a coincidence that guitars and a high-top shoe are shown in the video.  I believe the paint is symbolic of rain (as he mentioned in the beginning of the song) but, I believe, he also used paint as a metaphor for pain and hope.
And Blessing Offor is the gospel version of Stevie Wonder.  He rounds out this song with his beautiful soul-filled voice and awesome piano skills.  Very upbeat song that reminds us to praise Him always...
"But as for me, I shall sing of Your strength;
Yes, I shall joyfully sing of Your lovingkindness in the morning,
For You have been my stronghold
And a refuge in the day of my distress." Psalm 59:16
lyrics:
You made the rain, so, when it falls on me, should I complain?
Or feel You're calling me It's all on me to stay and really catch what You're showing
It's my roots that You're growing, 'cause life is more than this moment
You are the light so, when the darkness falls
The greatest heights, they never seem so tall, no, not at all
You're right, it's my roots that You're growing Don't wanna miss what You're showing
Ain't no doubt about You
Everywhere that I go You keep showing up Lord, You
Make me wanna shout it, oh
You're the Goodness in my life
And I'ma tell you, my truth
They may come, they may go
You keep showing up, sure do
Ain't no doubt about it
You are (You are) the Goodness in my life
You are the joy (joy)
You're the smile on the face of Your boy (boy)
You're the flowers at the park in Detroit
Still the words on the back of our coins
Let's make some noise (hey)
You cover me My defender, when You're rolling up Your sleeve 
You're the truth that's gonna set the captive free
The only King that's ever chose to bleed
That's what I believe
That they keep trying to make Your glory fade (fade)
But I ain't really sweating what they say (say)
Ain't no doubt about You
Everywhere that I go You keep showing up Lord,
You Make me wanna shout it, oh
You're the Goodness in my life
And I'ma tell you, my truth
They may come, they may go
You keep showing up, sure do
Ain't no doubt about it
You are (You are) the Goodness in my life
Through the good, and the bad, and the ugly
I can still see the sunshine above me
Lord, I love all the ways that You love me
You're the Good, You're the Good, You're the Goodness
Through the good and the bad and the ugly (whoa)
I can still feel the sunshine above me (say it Blessing)
Lord, I love all the ways that You love me (yeah)
You're the Good (yeah) You're the Good (yeah) You're the Goodness
You're the Good (You are) You're the Good (You are) You're the Good, You're the Good, You're the Goodness
Lord, You're the Goodness You're the Good (You are), You're the Good (You are) You're the Good, You're the Good, You're the Goodness
Ain't no doubt about You
Everywhere that I go You keep showing up Lord, You (Make me wanna shout it) oh (oh)
You're the Goodness in my life
And I'ma tell you, my truth (yeah)
They may come, they may go
You keep showing up, sure do
