A Way To See In The Dark is a music album by Jason Gray released September 13th 2011. It is his ninth solo record and his third major label national release with Centricity Music. It was produced by Jason Ingram and Rusty Varencamp, the same production team from his previous release, Everything Sad Is Coming Untrue.

The lead single released to radio was the album opener, "Remind Me Who I Am". An accompanying music video directed by Jason's frequent collaborator Doug McKelvey and Daren Thomas was released in July 0f 2011. The video features various people holding cardboard signs that signify their understanding of themselves and explores the idea of identity and where it is found. The video is viewable here. Other songs on the album cover themes ranging from fear, shame, hope, and God's love as the basis for our identity.

A series of song diary videos was also produced to promote the project on youtube and other video outlets featuring "Good To Be Alive" and "Remind Me Who I Am"

Jason was also featured in a series of webisodes produced by Centricity Music that cast their artists in humorous situations with the label's head of A&R John Mays in a fictional school called Centricity U. The webisodes were part of a promotional campaign for the artist's and projects of Centricity Music and were written and directed by Doug McKelvey. The episode featuring Jason and the lead single from A Way To See In The Dark can be seen here.

A limited Special Edition of this record was also released in a commemorative hard cover-style book that includes 8 additional tracks of demos, alternate versions, and new songs as well as a 32 page booklet with Jason's reflections about the meaning behind each of the songs. The supplemental tracks were produced by Matt Patrick in Minneapolis, MN.
