Christian Music - Toby Mac - Lose My Soul

Father God, I am clay in your hands
Help me to stay that way through all life’s demands
’Cause they chip, and they nag, and they pull at me
And every little thing I make up my mind to be
Like I’m a be a daddy whose in the mix
And I’m a be a husband who stays legit
And I pray that I’m an artist who rises above
The road that is wide and filled with self love
Everything that I see draws me
Though it’s only in you that I can truly see that it’s a feast for the eyes
A low-blow to purpose
And I’m a little kid at a three-ring circus

If you gotta start somewhere
Why not here?
If you gotta start sometime
Why not now?
If we gotta start somewhere I say here
If we gotta start sometime I say now

Contemporary Christian Music - Toby Mac - Love Broke Thru

When love broke thru
You found me in the darkness
Wanderin’ thru the desert
I was a hopeless fool
Now I’m hopelessly devoted
My chains are broken
And it all began with You
When love broke thru
And it all began with You

Tonight's the night
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide in a beautiful display
It's all love tonight
When we step across the line

Testimonies of God's Grace - Ransom Note - Toby Mac

We recently had the privilege of spending some time with TobyMac. To say that he is an accomplished musician would be a massive understatement. He's sold over 11 million albums and received 5 Grammy Awards. But none of that would have been possible without the One who rescued him many years ago. This is his story. His Ransom Note.

The Wally Show - Toby Mac

TobyMac felt bad he blew off coming on our show to accompany Mandisa on Good Morning America. He made the mistake of telling Wally he'd come on and do anything Wally wanted. Oh the possibilities.

Christian Music - Toby Mac - City on Our Knees

TobyMac explained the song's meaning: "'City On Our Knees' is really about a moment. A moment that we all come together to a place where there's no judgment, but really love. And we choose to recognize one God together. And it's really a reminder that that moment could be right now, tonight. And in that moment judgment falls by the wayside, we choose to step across the line, whatever side we're on. Love fills in the cracks and makes up the difference."

Christian Music - Toby Mac - City on Our Knees

If you gotta start somewhere why not here
If you gotta start sometime why not now
If we gotta start somewhere I say here
If we gotta start sometime I say now
Through the fog there is hope in the distance
From cathedrals to third world missions
Love will fall to the earth like a crashing wave

Christian Music - Toby Mac - Lose My Soul

Father God, I am clay in your hands,
Help me to stay that way through all life's demands,
'Cause they chip and they nag and they pull at me,
And every little thing I make up my mind to be,
Like I'm gonna be a daddy whose in the mix,
And I'm gonna be a husband who stays legit,
And I pray that I'm an artist who rises above,
The road that is wide and filled with self love,
Everything that I see draws me,
Though it's only in You that I can truly see that its a feast for the eyes- a low blow to purpose.
And I'm a little kid at a three ring circus.

I don't want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
Don't wanna walk away, let me hear the people say.
I don't want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
Don't wanna walk away, let me hear the people say.

Padre Dios, yo soy arcilla en sus manos,
Ayúdame a permanecer de esa manera a través de todas las demandas de la vida,
Porque ellos chip y darle la lata y se tiran de mí,
Y cada pequeña cosa que hacer en mi mente para ser,
Al igual que yo voy a ser papá cuyo en la mezcla,
Y voy a ser un marido que se queda fiar,
Y ruego que soy un artista que se eleva por encima,
El camino que es amplia y llena de amor propio,
Todo lo que veo me atrae,
Aunque es sólo en Ti que realmente puedo ver que es una fiesta para los ojos, un golpe bajo a propósito.
Y yo soy un niño pequeño en un circo de tres pistas.

Yo no quiero ganar el mundo entero y perder mi alma,
No quiero alejarme, hazme oír la gente dice.
Yo no quiero ganar el mundo entero y perder mi alma,
No quiero alejarme, hazme oír la gente dice.

Christian Music - Toby Mac - City on Our Knees

This the first single from Tonight, the fourth solo album from Christian pop–hip hop artist TobyMac. It was the fastest charting and selling song in his career to date charting at #11 on Billboard's Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart.

The single was released six months prior to the album on August 14, 2009. TobyMac explained why to Christianity Today: "Sometimes when you are passionate about something you can't hold it back. This one was finished and we all felt it was timely for society, so we sent it out early. Many times when I am writing a lyric I take 2-3 months per song, but in the case of 'City' I didn't wrestle with God on this one. I just opened myself up and let him breathe it through me. Twenty-five minutes later it was finished. The song is based on something I have always dreamed of - letting go of the things that divide us, stepping across the line and being a body recognizing one God."

TobyMac explained the song's meaning: "'City On Our Knees' is really about a moment. A moment that we all come together to a place where there's no judgment, but really love. And we choose to recognize one God together. And it's really a reminder that that moment could be right now, tonight. And in that moment judgment falls by the wayside, we choose to step across the line, whatever side we're on. Love fills in the cracks and makes up the difference."

Christian Music - Toby Mac - Lose My Soul

I don't want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
Don't wanna walk away, let me hear the people say.
I don't want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
Don't wanna walk away, let me hear the people say.

Lord forgive us when we get consumed by the things of this world,
That fight for our love, and our passion,
As our eyes are open wide and on you.
Grant us the privilege of your world view,
And may your kingdom be, what wakes us up, and lays us down.

These Young People are 'Hope' for our future.
