Toby, My heartfelt sympathies on your loss and while I truly feel your loss I have to say I am so incredibly grateful to you for sharing your heartfelt loss with us here. I have surrendered myself to the Lord simply because of your testimony. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I lost my sweet son 1year and 10 months ago. Hardest road I have had to travel. If I wouldn't know the Lord, I don't know where I would be. Thank you Lord
No greater pain then the loss of a child. We miss you Israel forever 4 years old. The pain never leaves almost 2 years this September and stoll feels like last week. Only way we get through is with God's help daily.
Toby & Amanda: God ushered my 27 year old only son home to Heaven, my wild child on Valentine’s Day! Nate’s favorite verse was John 3:16. The grief nearly kills us …. but somehow we continue to live and breathe. Sometimes I can hardly believe I’m still here & he’s gone. I too grew up in a devout Christian family & I’ve been listening to your music since DC Talk. Thank you for all the music you write and bring to life on the stage. Everything you say in the lyrics of your songs resonates deeply, spiritually, physically, emotionally and psychologically inside of me. I scream out the songs driving in my car, dance like a crazy woman and look like a happy lunatic when I’m listening to you!! Your concerts are so incredible there are no words to describe the feelings that surface. Never stop pouring out your heart to your fans and all the listeners who will hear about God the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit ❤️🙏🏼✝️ I know when we get to heaven our boys will be there to welcome us and we will all be together again! Until then ……. Saw Toby and Diversity in Glendale, AZ on 2/12 with Crowder!! They rocked the packed house at Gila Arena. I sat and cried when he sang 21 years, hits me deep in my heart and soul.
So sorry for your loss. I also lost my 26 years daughter 6 years ago no pain like it but my faith in the Lord is helping me to keep going and one day we will understand. Hugs and prayers.
@@juliette61 Yes the pain is unbearable despite the depth of our Faith! After 3 long agonizing years, God spoke life back into my soul and lifted the chronic depression that pledged me. I cried out HELP ME, HELP ME, HELP ME … until His voice spoke inside me loud and clear, “get up, wash your face, I’ve always been here”. That day changed everything ❤️🙏🏼✝️
I've watched this song over 100x. Beautifully done, led by God and the holy spirit. It makes me think of my brother who died by suicide on 3/23/2020 due to Covid restrictions/ shut downs.
Broken 💔, Our Faithful God Almighty, told me about a similar situation. The Answer of Our All Mighty Faithful Lord is: He does not despise or turn away a broken heart or contrite spirit. He heals the Broken Contrite Spirit.
Thank you Kathlyn. My son passed away 3 years ago I never asked why I was never angry with God. I think our father got every day I walk in faith I could not have got through the death of my son without him. I give him all the praise and all the glory.
@Leigh Leigh IAM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS, MY PRAYERS' ARE WITH YOU OK SORRY FOR YOUR HEART ,, BEING SO CRUSH MAY GOD GIVE YOU PEACE,,, IN YOUR HEART,, GOD BLESS YOU ,,MY SISTER💕🤍💕🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍💕🤍💕🤍
Why ? He does not just believes, Toby KNOWS that God is not a liar & their are no coincidences. Just think on that. WE ALL GONNA SEE THE LIGHT!! SOME SEE HIM NOW. I DO, TODY DOES. DO YOU ?
I was raised in my faith, and I am a true believer, but I never heard anything as beautiful as the words of Toby Mac!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God Bless Toby Mac!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
My CONDOLENCES GOES OUT TO U AND UR family u will see her again one day she is ur GUARDIAN 😇NOW THE FATHER NEVER GIVES U MORE THAN U CAN BARE JUST KEEP LOVING HIM KEEP THE FATH AND BELIEVE GOD BLESS U MY SISTER❤🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Watch after the 21 song video where he broke down when he started singing the next song and his his right hand man in life and in music came over and started singing it then he started singing. Beautiful show of love and support ❤️🎶😞😭
What a beautiful father Toby is and thankful our God has comforted him. We appreciate you in your pain Toby and your testimony. We love ❤️ you for lifting your pain to Jesus. God shines on you brother....and everything you sing 🕊🙏❤️
I lost my beloved son in 2021, it's a crushing pain like no other...and reading the comments I see there are many of us grateful for Toby sharing his heart and his song with us. Thank you Toby for the reminder that only because God gave his beloved Son will we see our sons & daughters again...what a gift from God. So, come Lord Jesus, come; raise them to life once again, never to die again. We fall at your feet Lord, you alone have the words of life we all need so much.
Toby, you are a modern day David, sharing your heart with God. I love seeing you and your daughter working together. God be with you and continue to hold your hearts close to His. ❤️
Lost my 29 year old on January 1st 10 years after my sister lost her son its heart crushing he was a Christian thank you god i will see him again in eternity
My son was 22 and was shot. Thank you 💞 I've got the LORD WALKING WITH ME. OR I WOULD NOT MAKE IT NOW. HE WAS KILLED FEB. 28 2022 I NEED TO FORGIVE THE PERSON AS SOON AS THEY FIND, WHO??
I lost my late wife 35 years ago and it still hurts. She was two months pregnant 😢 Every time I hear this song I think of our little one and start to cry. The little one’s sister was so excited about have a sibling. One day we will be with both of them. Love you Toby keep bring God’s glory to this dark world through your music. God bless brother
Lost my daughter in 2017, the pain is sometimes so intense I miss her so much! It will be 7 years this November 27th. My prayers go out to all that have lost their children.. May God give y'all comfort. I saw Toby Mac in Henderson.. God bless you for sharing your heart and God given talent with us!! My daughter is pain free and dancing for Jesus
We just lost my brother to fentanyl over dose December 5th. I came across this video to send to my mom. This is her 2nd son she’s lost. But her faith remains in The Lord. Thank you for making beautiful art that other grieving parents and families can relate to. My heart hurts for my brothers loss but I know he’s in Jesus arms now free from pain and addiction. ❤️
Why do people take drugs the first time, when they know how harmful they are and that they cause many, many people in the whole evil business to suffer. Can someone tell me that, because I don't understand it and I am deeply troubled by it. If we take drugs we feed a system that causes profound suffering, so surely it is something no decent person would ever, ever do. (I come from a background of what authorities termed, 'severe emotional abuse and neglect,' from my family, but I will not take drugs.
Thanks for sharing. Through the attached prayer for unity, I wish to encourage the disheartened and help the weak by being patient with everyone because our contract with life is broken with fragility, sadness, and anxiety. On a balcony of space STEPPED A PURE AND HOLY GOD. IN AWESOME SOLITUDE YOU STOOD ALONE. Not one faint star to give YOU light; just endless darkness, it was blackest night. But somehow in the darkness YOU COULD SEE. YOU SAW mountains high and lofty, YOU SAW valleys lush and green. YOU SAW babbling brooks, and wildflowers grow, YOU EVEN HEARD a robin sing. Then through YOUR COMPASSION STANDING OUT THERE IN YOUR TOMORROW, YOU SAW forum's visitors, their families and friends. 🥰 YOU SAW them as sinners (missing the mark resulting in their weaknesses prevailing causing guilt of wrong doing) because there is no intrinsic righteousness in any of us due to Adam’s sin. YOU SAW them as they grew from a baby into adulthood due to YOUR HANDS OF MERCY. 🥰 YOU SAW them pursuing a career path for the purpose of obtaining the gains of the world not realizing that it is a loss compared to what YOU DID on the cross. YOU SAW them working long and laboring hard to receive the grace by justification even though YOU stated, "This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."(John 6:29 KJV) YOU SAW the unwillingness to accept YOUR PLAN OF SALVATION THROUGH YOUR SON JESUS CHRIST. YOU SAW them living with the guilt of committing crimes to the heart. YOU SAW them enduring personal crisis. YOU SAW the weight of the burden on their hearts with each tribulation. YOU SAW them seeking comfort from the above mentioned topography, ONE OF THE MANY MARVELS YOUR PERFECT HANDS HAVE MADE. 👏👏👏 YOU SAW their worries about tomorrow. If their hearts were a window that they could look through, oh the pains and scars they would see. What a cruel fate the skin gives as a mask to the inward pain. But the skin couldn’t cover THE SUFFERING YOUR ONE AND ONLY SON BORED on the cross as PAYMENT for all our sins because HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ALONE HAD THE MERIT TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR HOLINESS. Indeed, ONLY HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS IS SUFFICIENT TO SAVE us from this present evil world as evidenced by Mary's song of praise. "And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour." (Luke 1:46-47 KJV) Awesome thanks to YOUR GREAT PARDON for being easy on the heart. 🥰 They have seen a lot of crazy things done in YOUR NAME. For example, the father of lies futile attempts to make crooked the right ways of the LORD to turn people away from faith in the WORKS OF JESUS CHRIST ALONE. How can anyone bear the thought of his or her life story detracting from the GLORY AND HONOR KNOWN TO BELONG TO CHRIST ALONE? As a consequence, YOU ARE A MYSTERY OF GREAT MYSTERY to them. Despite this conviction, YOU ARE MINDFUL of them as evidenced by the fact that YOUR JUDGEMENT is not speedy, allowing them to pursue the desires of the flesh. They are aware of hypocrisy in religious assemblies that like to be seen and heard. In addition, secular education teaches that there is no right and wrong, if GOD exists there is no way of relating to HIM, and moral standards shift according to the whims of fashion. Therefore, their minds are conditioned to question everything this world has to offer including “THY POWER THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE DISPLAYED.” They have accepted the heavy burden of dealing with the troubles of this life and seek to know another way, YOU THE GREAT COMFORTER TO ALL who did receive YOU as their personal SAVIOR. Still, YOU have shown them NEW MERCY every day with each thought they make and each breath they take. Unfortunately, like the prodigal son, we are all guilty of wandering far from YOU LORD because the negative experiences of our lives tend to build roadblocks to the TRUTH. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them to identify the way, truth, and eternal life (that is YOU). Since to know and follow your SPIRIT is more exciting than any 007 movies, and YOU DELIGHT MAKING the ordinary into extraordinary. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST MAKE them understand that there is no way around YOUR TRUTH, and that there is something about YOUR NAME. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them defeat in their minds what is false in YOUR EYES. LORD GUIDE their thoughts to know that the path of sin is hard on their hearts for the purpose of crying out to YOU to know the joy, peace of having the heavy burden LIFTED by THE GOD OF PEACE I AM, and ANCHOR their souls in THE HAVEN OF REST. In other words, LORD use the storms in their lives to get a hold of them to trust YOU and believe. In truth, YOU ARE THE JOY that seekest them through pain. LORD HELP their fainting hearts to believe that YOU, who was slain on the cross over 2000 years ago has the POWER TO CHANGE lives today through the INSTANTANEOUS GREAT FAVOR from GOD to the house of Israel made known in believers by YOU to make YOUR NAME EVERLASTING. 🥰 For as the statue liberates the citizens so the cross liberates the soul. ONLY YOU can calm the trouble waters of the mind when one admits to wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, JESUS IS LORD, and believes in the heart that GOD RAISED HIM from the dead TO LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt away from the heart in accordance to YOUR WORD found in Psalm 51:1-10 KJV. 👏👏👏👏👏👏 O, the wonder of it all to experience within the flesh the feeling of a tree being cut back/pruned in order for it to grow stronger and more beautiful after meditating on the words of said Psalm. 🥰🙌 LORD MAKE them know that ONLY YOUR HOLY SPIRIT, through the experience of a new birth within believers, can prevent the family circle from being broken because THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE YOU HAVE GRANTED means a chapter of their lives is decided. Creation sings the rebirth song for them yearly, through YOUR PROMISE of springtime, giving rise to the idea that by the mention of YOUR NAME flowers grow, and the desert blooms again. 🥰 LORD GUIDE their understanding of words to use to come into YOUR PRESENCE with an honest reverence of WHO YOU ARE to experience the beauty that time can't erase YOUR WISDOM resting on their faces. LORD STRENGTHEN their determination to never waiver in efforts to search for YOU because the wages of sin is too high for anyone to pay. Additionally, THE KING OF KINGS is needed in their hearts to learn how to expand their capacity to love for YOU are LOVE in any language. 🥰 Once they learn to speak it with boldness through YOUR WONDERFUL COUNSELING all the world will hear, and know that LOVE is the language of their hearts. So LORD, KEEP KNOCKING on their door until they let YOU in to know hardships and struggles will end with a GREAT CELEBRATION WITH YOU. 🥰🙌 If one believes faith cannot be forced, YOU WILL GIVE that individual over to the stubborn heart to follow own counsel which will surely fail him or her to the extent that the punishment will last forever found in Psalms 81 NIV. Given this, I pray that YOU WILL MAKE that person see that this feeling is wasted for a world in which we become strangers as we age, gives us thrills instead of peace, aims to solve a problem but creates another, and unrest surges with each passing generation. Shed some light into their broken hearts for YOU ARE THE GREAT JEHOVAH, THE GOD THAT HEALETH thee. Lastly, LORD when they call on YOU in earnest prayer to come into their hearts to be born again (repentance manifesting itself in a changed life), I pray that YOU WILL GIVE them the blessed assurance of their salvation because nothing breaks YOUR HEART, or tears YOU apart like when they cry from the trials of the devil who comes to slander, falsely accuse, steal, kill & destroy. Only by drawing nearer to YOU LORD will put them on a path to a glorious one way trip winding upward to YOU where pain is not welcome because the heart will never break anymore. For ONLY YOU UNDERSTANDS our tears since YOU LOOK at the heart, while humans look at the flesh. O LOVE that will not let them go. When they don't have the strength to try, and have cried all they can cry hear their hearts that need YOU more today than yesterday. Many thanks LORD for speaking TRUTH in our lives TO BLESS those who are not offended by THEE. LET YOUR WILL BE DONE because YOUR LOVE ALONE CONQUERS everything by WAITING for them to cease struggling, and finally surrender to YOUR EMBRACE to learn about YOUR LOVE AND PROMISE TO TAKE CARE of your children exquisitely. 🥰 Since... "at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore"... (Psalms 16:11 KJV), and the nail print for them to know YOU by answering the following question. How did CHRIST LOVE people into a relationship with HIM? 🥰
Lost my baby girl 8-28-15. I wake up everyday and it hurts but i also have a beautiful son and yes i am angry about MY loss that i dont get to see her everyday and God does. Then one day it hit me HARD and then I realized he gave up his Son so she could live forever!!! Still hurts but i now have a better relationship with God. Not fully at peace but working on it..
I can identify with your pain as I, too, have lost a child. She was 30, died in her sleep. Too much alcohol and high level of antidepressant. Lover of Jesus, but so much against her. 8 months ago now, and pain like I have never known with any other loss. She was a fan of yours, too.
I'm so so sorry that you lost your son Toby. It hurt me so badly because I love you as an artist SO much! I cried out on my FB page, when it happened. You give so much to us. You give so much and I could not imagine my favorite Christian Contemporary Artist enduring a loss so deep as that. I still hurt with you, your wife, your children, your family, your friends, and your staff! It's a pain that grips us to the core, your fans, because we love you so deeply. May God love on us all as we , especially you, as we try to understand the non understandable. In Jesus's name I pray my Toby. My greatest Christian Artist. Your music moves me to Spiritual heights far beyond this world. I Love your heart for God Sir. I truly, truly do! Stay strong my friend! 😇
Man, I did not expect to feel the way I do right now, after watching this tribute song to your son, it took me out! I heard your heart loud and clear, you are still lookin' out for your beloved son, by asking God if He held him in His loving arms and let him know that he's home. What a beautiful, spirit-filled song. So powerful, the Spirit of our loving Father is all over this! Prayer's for you and your family Toby, for continued strength and that the fullness of joy would fill your hearts as before. Come LORD Jesus, we're ready to go home too! ☝️🙏
Got 3 children - Could not imagine what it would be like, and I know they are all saved. How do people who do not know cope with Death? Again I couldn't do it with out KNOWING God and the Hope his Son Gave us when he died on the Cross for me!!
I lost my 34yr old son, Justin in 2018 & my 40yr old daughter, Mandi in 2021, this song fills my heart. God has them and promises I WILL see them again 💖💙
I've lost so many family and friends in my life, I've felt my heart numb. After listening to your song to honor your son, it has truly touched my heart. I realized they may be in heaven, but they live in my heart. This is such a remarkable way to honor and celebrate your son's 21 years old. My prayers and heart goes out to you and so many families affected by so many tragedies. May you treasure your son for an eternity until you meet again in heaven. What a joy that's going to be! I love you, TobyMac!
Can you imagine the heart it takes to get up and do this song? I mean you can feel the pain in his voice toward the end, when he sings back up to his back up singer who takes over for him... 6:32 is beautiful - made me cry
Toby & Amanda My 35 year old daughter disappeared 4 years ago. she was in recovery for durg addiction when she relapsed. I to believe that we are going to make it through. It has brought me to my knees and like you letting go is the hardest thing a parent could ever do. But I too believe we are going to make it through. In this horrific pain I have found a hope in God in his Word a Living hope I never knew existed. He is very close to the Brokenhearted. Your song is a beautiful expression of God's love. Thank you!
Yesterday I was helping a homeless girl that I have tried to help a bit before..she seemed around early forties…I wept in the car..thinking that’s someone’s child Lord.. I have been praying for her…trust that God has not only you praying for your child but others…ask God to send workers to find her..help her..pray for her and to restore her to you.. I would love to know your daughters first name to pray as well
I am a recovering herion addict...started at 28 in 1994...ended in 2003 by the grace of God...I should be dead but the Father, for some reason chose to let me live...
On March 8th, I went to a Tobey Mac concert with my daughter, granddaughter & my dtrs mother n law. It was a big blessing to b there at the concert n what a blast I had having the Holy Spirit within my body n hearing the words of Jesus Christ, the singing words of joy n peace of my Lord n Savior, just felt so much of a blessing n the Holy Spirit within me, was just overwhelming that I was crying, because he is My Father, My God, My Jesus, my everything that applies to Emanuel, My Father. Tobey Mac I really liked your concert, it was everything I would have visioned of you. God bless n God watch over u n your family. 🌹🙏👍🎉❤️🙏🌅💐👏🌺
Yea you can! You hear it and I agree with the other, how can he sing this without a hitch in his voice. Toby has helped me through a tragic death experience in my family.
Tears sliding down my face right now. Just thinking about my Mom, who entered into heaven a few years ago. So I say "God has you in heaven, Mom, but I have you in my heart". God bless you, Tobymac & Diverse band!
I pray to God that he takes me before any of my children. I will never forget the day my sister lost her son, she seen me, started screaming my name running towards me with her arms out and crying, I just held her for as long as I could.
I feel like you wrote this song for me... Although my son was was only 20 years old... Your lyrics totally hit home. I had this song played at my sons services, ironically you had the lyric, Alex blues, my sons name is Alexander but we called him Alex, it left the room in silence, in awe. Such a great song, you did a beautiful job with it, thank you & I'm so sorry for your loss as well.
@Tobymac GOD BLESS YOU ,AND UR FAMAILY ,, SO SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS,, WE LOSS ONE BROTHER, TO COVID, 35 YEARS OLD AND MY OTHER TWO BROTHERS RIGHT AFTER ONE TO CANCER,, AND ONE TO OVERDOSE,, ARE HEARTS' ARE BROKEN,,,SAD, WITH JESUS !!!! AND YOUR AMAZING MUSIC WE ARE MAKING IT,, THANK YOU AGAIN,, JESUS LOVES' YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!🙏🙏🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Every time I see this I cry because I lost my brother recently to alcoholism…….I’m a Christian….My brother was an atheist but maybe he got time in the end My daddy prayed many times for my brother’s death bed confession !! to cry out to God for forgiveness and that’s all it’s takes ! Your forgiven ! ! God doesn’t hold a grudge….or a lengthy scroll with all the bad things you’ve done in your life…. His love is forever!! He wasn’t living the life he should’ve He was doing terrible things but I know he became a Christian when he was 8 yrs old Has God got my brother in Heaven I will never know the answer to that question till God takes me home It about breaks my heart……Right before he died he told something happened to him when he was a child and alcohol took the burden away let him forget whatever it was….. Died too young Maybe he was a prodigal son like your precious sonToby Mac My faith is so strong I love the Lord with all my heart and I loved my brother also If you reading this there is only one way to get to Heaven and that’s through Christ !! and Christ alone As so many times when I writing about what happened to my only sibling my keyboard is blurred with tears I can’t hardly see what I write but if my story can help someone it’s worth sharing with you because it’s the family left who deals with the pain !! Forever an empty chair in a room Christmas time at any family gathering !! I’m so so glad God took my parents home before they saw what detrimental affects of what alcoholism did to my brother !! It was so so awful what he looked like in the end !! There’s no sugar coating it It was just so awful and such a tragedy God in His infinite mercy kindly took my parents home before my brother died I begged my brother pleaded with him to get help I got down on my knees pleading with him describing what it would be like for me to bury him beside my dear Daddy and Mummy He promised me he’d get help He never did Toby Mac you have taken all that sorrow and made it into a song I pray for you and your family often Your never far from my thoughts and prayers of strength God bless you for who you are and the hearts you will move today and every time this song you wrote for Truete" is played Your mess had become your message "! For Christ alone is the only certainty we have in life to be Heaven bound His love surrounds forever God bless you Toby Mac and your incredible band Hugs so many many hugs I send to you your wife your children Love from Marran xox
I'm an Apostle in the ministry and I could say something deep and profound, but that would be my flesh & not from the Lord. Truth is, like everyone else I've read in these comments, I cry like a baby every time I hear this song. I really get pulled in to Toby's grieving and receive cleansing and strength in my grief. Thank you, my awesome brother! I can't wait to meet you before the throne where I can give you a proper hug. God bless you, your wife, your family, your band, your church & your ministry!

I lost my son after two days in 2019. World crashed. I know he’s in Heaven. The ONLY peace we have in this crazy world is Christ. We don’t mourn as those who have no hope
I was just thinking how hard thats gotta be for him to do that song over n over again but hopefully God's using it to comfort n strengthen him like I know its doing for others!
Me too lost my son. February 15,2020,9 days after his 19 birthday suddenly lost my precious son. I’m catholic I pray every single night my rosary. And I believe when day I will see my son again… but it is so hard unbearable pain.
Me too...Im not going crazy...Thank you, I cry tears of relief and joy always when the Holy Spirit, I know is living in me.. I feel it and I can cry the relief and pain out all day...Whatever it takes!! Thank you...
I believe also, I had two sons die of homicide in 3 months. My heart is with your heart Toby.. I have a song a wrote, you would sing it best. I wish i could share it. God bless you in your music ministry, it blesses many!!
I miss you Daddy! It’s been 4 years But I think abt u every single day. U r always my hero! God has you in heaven but I have you in my heart! It’s heart wrenching why did u leave me and go dad..
Toby, my friend just lost his 16 year old son this week. Your song describes that pain. Thanks for the song and a big hug from my family. I really felt your pain when I heard about your son.
Yes Amen yes Toby Mac.... You're on fire. Hallelujah. Yes this reminds me ofe and my husband daughter miscarriage. Pass on 5 months and 1/2 on May 27th, 2017. At 5:27 pm. Rip my daughter.
God brought my son home suddenly in his twenties. He was a born again Christian. He got messed up with the wrong kids, but he told me he'd rather die then ever take drugs again...
Its so good to see you Toby and Crew on a come back and its strong by God's Amazing Grace. Love you all, keep up the good service for Lord. Please keep my husband Leon in your prayers, he has been warring against the influence/battle of substance abuse for MANY years 🙏🏽🤗❤.
Praying for you.. My son too.. I'm so tired if it all..I know that I absolutely wish it in no one.. The addiction or the hell and pain parents go through...I prayed to God... I really want to heal and do whatever it takes to be the witness Toby has been to me and so many...
Latanya..i will pray for your husband and your relationship during his battle. Believe me..it isn't easy and so many times you want to give up on them and walk away, but pray..pray..pray for God's healing powers to overcome and heal your husband. Never lose faith..I battled this same thing with my husband for a large part of our marriage..walked away for a short time and felt convicted to come back & fight for him spiritually. The only thing that changed was the intervention of Jesus Christ in his life. My husband was saved by our Lord & Savior!!! We are going to be celebrating 15 years of marriage in a couple days & over 20 years together. He is now the man I've dreamed of being with my whole life thanks to God! You guys will get through this storm. Sister..I pray strength, power and encouragement over your mind, heart and soul :) God bless you!
Thank you for your heartfelt response. God has been faithful to me and I know he loves my husband and I. As I was seeking God, this scripture was shared.: 2 Timothy 3:1-6 “ But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! 6 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts. I am believing God for my marriage. But I must not be gullible to the schemes. As you touch and agree, with me Kathy through prayer, we are going to watch God change things 😇🙏🏽🙌🏾🤗
Absolutely beautiful. I lost my husband to an overdose 8 years ago. He was 28. Our son was 2 and I was pregnant with our daughter he never got to meet. Just played this for them. So much beauty and hope. I became a Christ based substance abuse councilor after his death. I hope to shine light in the darkness and show addicts and those struggling that Jesus loves them.
Thank you Jesus, for showing us the way to the Father. Thanks for the song Toby, may the Lord bless you and yours. The only way to the Father is through Jesus! We have this side of eternity, to be like Jesus, “ born again “, nothing can change on the other side!
I also lost some son’s as well we just hang in there we are going to make it in JESUS name Amen.Keep singing man it been a while since I have seen you man and you are still doing it blessed it be the name of the JESUS Toby he will keep on blessing you And your family and all of y’all that is on the stage blessing all of y’all in the name of JESUS
Oh man, Toby. I loved your music but I have not listened to your music in years. Now I found this video suggestion just to found out that you've lost your son. I am so sorry for your loss . I believe that you will see your son again. Its so hard to not cry listening to this song. God bless brother.
My heart goes out to you and your family, Toby. Can't imagine a greater pain then losing a child. May God comfort and bring you peace as only he can. God Bless You.
May God bless you Toby, you're songs have helped so many of us through the rough areas of our lives. We love you man, keep up the amazing work that you are doing. And to anyone reading this, I pray that you will always remember that God will never ever give up and on you, even though it may seem that way in the rough parts, that is when he is closest to you. We just need to have faith and believe that everything that happens, even the bad things will be used for our good. I pray that God blesses you all and remember to not lose hope, the darkness will end and like Toby says " We will see the light"
Hi thank you alot for reminding me that God's with me especially through the rough times I lost my dog this year and it was one of the worst days of my life because she was basically my friend/dog friend and if I could atleast say goodbye I'd be happier but the last thing I said to her was "I love you and goodnight".
Wow..this is so touching...when you know Jesus and his promises it brings a peace that is anazing...I always wonder if I'd have that peace....praise God for Toby's music to encourage us....love you Toby...
I could have been his son. I abused drugs for over 10 years. It took an arrest, me losing everything and the only thing I had to rely on was my faith in God. He brought me out of that addiction, brought me out of that shame and heartache. God bless you Toby Mac.
I lost my son ( 19 yrs) Feb 22, 2020 very shortly after I heard this song 🎵😢💔 such a beautiful song and beautiful song to your son I actually played at my sons memorial even though he was only 19 because it's such a beautiful song!
I too lost my only child my only son 15th August 2021 ,💔 God keeps me strong , and yes Toby you are right , we will see our sons again when God finally calls us home 💙🙏 sending love & strength to everyone out there Godbless us all Amen 🙏💙💕 .......Beautiful song thankyou for sharing 🙏
I lost my 1 and Only Beautiful Daughter at age 14 years old, in a car accident in 1999 . The worst pain I have ever had in my life 💔 But knowing she is with God 💖‼️ and that I will see her again 💞😊🙌🏻✝️ is what I hold on to everyday 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻‼️
Your incredible song came at exactly the perfect moment. I am so sad to hear of your loss, Toby. God has used this song to answer so many prayers for a dear friend. May your beautiful song reach all of those who unfortunately have had to walk this road too. They are home. Amen ♥
I just lost my little light... now I know He holds that light in his loving righteousness right hand🙏🏻and now His Hand holds my broken heart💔 My prayers and thoughts are with you and your son!! GOD BLESS YOU AND THE MESSAGE YOU HAVE GIVEN THE WORLD.. what a gift!!❤️
I just have to praise GOD for the Love he showed my Daughter. THANK YOU GOD for saving her soul!! Addiction almost took her from us. If she had died during that time she would have died and gone to hell! I do not say this lightly. On January 1 2003 she came into the house and said "I have accepted Jesus Christ as MY GOD!" My first thought was "Yeah Right." She had tried to stop her addiction but never did. She would stop for a while but then would fall to the cravings of drugs. Over the next 6 months we saw this "Full Blown Addict" (that is what a counselor with 30 years experience told us) change. She was happy. She was praising GOD and her Love for Jesus was evident for the first time in her LIFE! Here we are 19 years later and she is married - 2 daughters of her own and still loves Jesus. I have to be honest, in 2002 we never thought she would make it to 2003. Thank you Jesus!!!
In your Heart Toby to The right of Jesus brother. Remember only through Jesus Christ we will see Our Father and loves ones. So the hurt will go because the love remains. We gonna see the light see it daily look up.
God bless you Tmac and band. You guys are so real, so talented, so inspiring. You’re right about this hope through Jesus Christ. I’m so thankful for it. Thank you for this reminder and being a great light in the music industry. 💡
Beautiful!!! Toby you are bringing such hope and healing to many people. God is shining through you.
Toby, My heartfelt sympathies on your loss and while I truly feel your loss I have to say I am so incredibly grateful to you for sharing your heartfelt loss with us here. I have surrendered myself to the Lord simply because of your testimony. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
We had Seth, our son for 31 years, so we had your song 21 years for his funeral. God Bless you.
I lost my sweet son 1year and 10 months ago. Hardest road I have had to travel. If I wouldn't know the Lord, I don't know where I would be. Thank you Lord
No greater pain then the loss of a child. We miss you Israel forever 4 years old. The pain never leaves almost 2 years this September and stoll feels like last week. Only way we get through is with God's help daily.
GOD BLESS YOU TOBY...KEEPING YOU AND FAMILY IN PRAYER❤
Toby & Amanda: God ushered my 27 year old only son home to Heaven, my wild child on Valentine’s Day! Nate’s favorite verse was John 3:16. The grief nearly kills us …. but somehow we continue to live and breathe. Sometimes I can hardly believe I’m still here & he’s gone. I too grew up in a devout Christian family & I’ve been listening to your music since DC Talk. Thank you for all the music you write and bring to life on the stage. Everything you say in the lyrics of your songs resonates deeply, spiritually, physically, emotionally and psychologically inside of me. I scream out the songs driving in my car, dance like a crazy woman and look like a happy lunatic when I’m listening to you!! Your concerts are so incredible there are no words to describe the feelings that surface. Never stop pouring out your heart to your fans and all the listeners who will hear about God the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit ❤️🙏🏼✝️ I know when we get to heaven our boys will be there to welcome us and we will all be together again! Until then ……. Saw Toby and Diversity in Glendale, AZ on 2/12 with Crowder!! They rocked the packed house at Gila Arena. I sat and cried when he sang 21 years, hits me deep in my heart and soul.
I'm so sorry for your loss, I still haven't felt the pain of losing someone who I've known my whole life
@@MartinHernandez-nd5lt Thank you so much for acknowledging my post! I hope & pray you never have an experience like this 🙏🏼
So sorry for your loss
So sorry for your loss. I also lost my 26 years daughter 6 years ago no pain like it but my faith in the Lord is helping me to keep going and one day we will understand. Hugs and prayers.
@@juliette61 Yes the pain is unbearable despite the depth of our Faith! After 3 long agonizing years, God spoke life back into my soul and lifted the chronic depression that pledged me. I cried out HELP ME, HELP ME, HELP ME … until His voice spoke inside me loud and clear, “get up, wash your face, I’ve always been here”. That day changed everything ❤️🙏🏼✝️
Tears every time I heard this song
My heart goes out to your family. No words could ever be said to the loss of a child except for JESUS.
I've watched this song over 100x. Beautifully done, led by God and the holy spirit. It makes me think of my brother who died by suicide on 3/23/2020 due to Covid restrictions/ shut downs.
Sorry for your loss brother.
@@josh8oh8 thank you brother
Well said ! That’s real talk, DEEP!
Broken 💔, Our Faithful God Almighty, told me about a similar situation. The Answer of Our All Mighty Faithful Lord is:
He does not despise or turn away a broken heart or contrite spirit.
He heals the Broken Contrite Spirit.
Psalm 34:18
The Lord is close to the Broken hearted 💔and
Saves those who are crushed in Spirit.
Amen
Thank you so much Toby they are right you will see him in heaven because how your doing great at praising him and never stopped loving Jesus
How the sting of death hurts. But the glory of God outshines the hurt. Thank you Toby for this song.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
That is the first verse my mom and dad Showed me, and it’s my favorite verse to this day

Watch after the 21 song video where he broke down when he started singing the next song and his his right hand man in life and in music came over and started singing it then he started singing. Beautiful show of love and support ❤️🎶😞😭

What a beautiful father Toby is and thankful our God has comforted him. We appreciate you in your pain Toby and your testimony. We love ❤️ you for lifting your pain to Jesus. God shines on you brother....and everything you sing 🕊🙏❤️
I love song 🎶
I have never seen anyone throw his voice so loudly and so beautiful. It is almost like he is trying for his son to hear him. He is amazing!!
I lost my beloved son in 2021, it's a crushing pain like no other...and reading the comments I see there are many of us grateful for Toby sharing his heart and his song with us. Thank you Toby for the reminder that only because God gave his beloved Son will we see our sons & daughters again...what a gift from God. So, come Lord Jesus, come; raise them to life once again, never to die again. We fall at your feet Lord, you alone have the words of life we all need so much.
Toby, you are a modern day David, sharing your heart with God. I love seeing you and your daughter working together. God be with you and continue to hold your hearts close to His. ❤️

Lost my daughter in 2017, the pain is sometimes so intense I miss her so much! It will be 7 years this November 27th. My prayers go out to all that have lost their children.. May God give y'all comfort. I saw Toby Mac in Henderson.. God bless you for sharing your heart and God given talent with us!! My daughter is pain free and dancing for Jesus
We just lost my brother to fentanyl over dose December 5th. I came across this video to send to my mom. This is her 2nd son she’s lost. But her faith remains in The Lord. Thank you for making beautiful art that other grieving parents and families can relate to. My heart hurts for my brothers loss but I know he’s in Jesus arms now free from pain and addiction. ❤️
Just lost my nephew to fetynal overdose. Only God can make any sense out of it all...
Why do people take drugs the first time, when they know how harmful they are and that they cause many, many people in the whole evil business to suffer. Can someone tell me that, because I don't understand it and I am deeply troubled by it. If we take drugs we feed a system that causes profound suffering, so surely it is something no decent person would ever, ever do. (I come from a background of what authorities termed, 'severe emotional abuse and neglect,' from my family, but I will not take drugs.
Thanks for sharing. Through the attached prayer for unity, I wish to encourage the disheartened and help the weak by being patient with everyone because our contract with life is broken with fragility, sadness, and anxiety.
On a balcony of space STEPPED A PURE AND HOLY GOD. IN AWESOME SOLITUDE YOU STOOD ALONE. Not one faint star to give YOU light; just endless darkness, it was blackest night. But somehow in the darkness YOU COULD SEE.
YOU SAW mountains high and lofty, YOU SAW valleys lush and green. YOU SAW babbling brooks, and wildflowers grow, YOU EVEN HEARD a robin sing. Then through YOUR COMPASSION STANDING OUT THERE IN YOUR TOMORROW, YOU SAW forum's visitors, their families and friends. 🥰
YOU SAW them as sinners (missing the mark resulting in their weaknesses prevailing causing guilt of wrong doing) because there is no intrinsic righteousness in any of us due to Adam’s sin. YOU SAW them as they grew from a baby into adulthood due to YOUR HANDS OF MERCY. 🥰 YOU SAW them pursuing a career path for the purpose of obtaining the gains of the world not realizing that it is a loss compared to what YOU DID on the cross. YOU SAW them working long and laboring hard to receive the grace by justification even though YOU stated, "This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."(John 6:29 KJV) YOU SAW the unwillingness to accept YOUR PLAN OF SALVATION THROUGH YOUR SON JESUS CHRIST. YOU SAW them living with the guilt of committing crimes to the heart. YOU SAW them enduring personal crisis. YOU SAW the weight of the burden on their hearts with each tribulation. YOU SAW them seeking comfort from the above mentioned topography, ONE OF THE MANY MARVELS YOUR PERFECT HANDS HAVE MADE. 👏👏👏 YOU SAW their worries about tomorrow.
If their hearts were a window that they could look through, oh the pains and scars they would see. What a cruel fate the skin gives as a mask to the inward pain. But the skin couldn’t cover THE SUFFERING YOUR ONE AND ONLY SON BORED on the cross as PAYMENT for all our sins because HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ALONE HAD THE MERIT TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR HOLINESS. Indeed, ONLY HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS IS SUFFICIENT TO SAVE us from this present evil world as evidenced by Mary's song of praise. "And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour." (Luke 1:46-47 KJV) Awesome thanks to YOUR GREAT PARDON for being easy on the heart. 🥰
They have seen a lot of crazy things done in YOUR NAME. For example, the father of lies futile attempts to make crooked the right ways of the LORD to turn people away from faith in the WORKS OF JESUS CHRIST ALONE. How can anyone bear the thought of his or her life story detracting from the GLORY AND HONOR KNOWN TO BELONG TO CHRIST ALONE? As a consequence, YOU ARE A MYSTERY OF GREAT MYSTERY to them. Despite this conviction, YOU ARE MINDFUL of them as evidenced by the fact that YOUR JUDGEMENT is not speedy, allowing them to pursue the desires of the flesh.
They are aware of hypocrisy in religious assemblies that like to be seen and heard. In addition, secular education teaches that there is no right and wrong, if GOD exists there is no way of relating to HIM, and moral standards shift according to the whims of fashion. Therefore, their minds are conditioned to question everything this world has to offer including “THY POWER THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE DISPLAYED.” They have accepted the heavy burden of dealing with the troubles of this life and seek to know another way, YOU THE GREAT COMFORTER TO ALL who did receive YOU as their personal SAVIOR. Still, YOU have shown them NEW MERCY every day with each thought they make and each breath they take.
Unfortunately, like the prodigal son, we are all guilty of wandering far from YOU LORD because the negative experiences of our lives tend to build roadblocks to the TRUTH. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them to identify the way, truth, and eternal life (that is YOU). Since to know and follow your SPIRIT is more exciting than any 007 movies, and YOU DELIGHT MAKING the ordinary into extraordinary. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST MAKE them understand that there is no way around YOUR TRUTH, and that there is something about YOUR NAME. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them defeat in their minds what is false in YOUR EYES.
LORD GUIDE their thoughts to know that the path of sin is hard on their hearts for the purpose of crying out to YOU to know the joy, peace of having the heavy burden LIFTED by THE GOD OF PEACE I AM, and ANCHOR their souls in THE HAVEN OF REST. In other words, LORD use the storms in their lives to get a hold of them to trust YOU and believe. In truth, YOU ARE THE JOY that seekest them through pain.
LORD HELP their fainting hearts to believe that YOU, who was slain on the cross over 2000 years ago has the POWER TO CHANGE lives today through the INSTANTANEOUS GREAT FAVOR from GOD to the house of Israel made known in believers by YOU to make YOUR NAME EVERLASTING. 🥰 For as the statue liberates the citizens so the cross liberates the soul. ONLY YOU can calm the trouble waters of the mind when one admits to wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, JESUS IS LORD, and believes in the heart that GOD RAISED HIM from the dead TO LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt away from the heart in accordance to YOUR WORD found in Psalm 51:1-10 KJV. 👏👏👏👏👏👏 O, the wonder of it all to experience within the flesh the feeling of a tree being cut back/pruned in order for it to grow stronger and more beautiful after meditating on the words of said Psalm. 🥰🙌
LORD MAKE them know that ONLY YOUR HOLY SPIRIT, through the experience of a new birth within believers, can prevent the family circle from being broken because THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE YOU HAVE GRANTED means a chapter of their lives is decided. Creation sings the rebirth song for them yearly, through YOUR PROMISE of springtime, giving rise to the idea that by the mention of YOUR NAME flowers grow, and the desert blooms again. 🥰
LORD GUIDE their understanding of words to use to come into YOUR PRESENCE with an honest reverence of WHO YOU ARE to experience the beauty that time can't erase YOUR WISDOM resting on their faces. LORD STRENGTHEN their determination to never waiver in efforts to search for YOU because the wages of sin is too high for anyone to pay. Additionally, THE KING OF KINGS is needed in their hearts to learn how to expand their capacity to love for YOU are LOVE in any language. 🥰 Once they learn to speak it with boldness through YOUR WONDERFUL COUNSELING all the world will hear, and know that LOVE is the language of their hearts. So LORD, KEEP KNOCKING on their door until they let YOU in to know hardships and struggles will end with a GREAT CELEBRATION WITH YOU. 🥰🙌
If one believes faith cannot be forced, YOU WILL GIVE that individual over to the stubborn heart to follow own counsel which will surely fail him or her to the extent that the punishment will last forever found in Psalms 81 NIV. Given this, I pray that YOU WILL MAKE that person see that this feeling is wasted for a world in which we become strangers as we age, gives us thrills instead of peace, aims to solve a problem but creates another, and unrest surges with each passing generation. Shed some light into their broken hearts for YOU ARE THE GREAT JEHOVAH, THE GOD THAT HEALETH thee.
Lastly, LORD when they call on YOU in earnest prayer to come into their hearts to be born again (repentance manifesting itself in a changed life), I pray that YOU WILL GIVE them the blessed assurance of their salvation because nothing breaks YOUR HEART, or tears YOU apart like when they cry from the trials of the devil who comes to slander, falsely accuse, steal, kill & destroy. Only by drawing nearer to YOU LORD will put them on a path to a glorious one way trip winding upward to YOU where pain is not welcome because the heart will never break anymore. For ONLY YOU UNDERSTANDS our tears since YOU LOOK at the heart, while humans look at the flesh.
O LOVE that will not let them go. When they don't have the strength to try, and have cried all they can cry hear their hearts that need YOU more today than yesterday. Many thanks LORD for speaking TRUTH in our lives TO BLESS those who are not offended by THEE. LET YOUR WILL BE DONE because YOUR LOVE ALONE CONQUERS everything by WAITING for them to cease struggling, and finally surrender to YOUR EMBRACE to learn about YOUR LOVE AND PROMISE TO TAKE CARE of your children exquisitely. 🥰 Since... "at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore"... (Psalms 16:11 KJV), and the nail print for them to know YOU by answering the following question. How did CHRIST LOVE people into a relationship with HIM? 🥰

I can identify with your pain as I, too, have lost a child. She was 30, died in her sleep. Too much alcohol and high level of antidepressant. Lover of Jesus, but so much against her. 8 months ago now, and pain like I have never known with any other loss. She was a fan of yours, too.
I'm so so sorry that you lost your son Toby. It hurt me so badly because I love you as an artist SO much! I cried out on my FB page, when it happened. You give so much to us. You give so much and I could not imagine my favorite Christian Contemporary Artist enduring a loss so deep as that. I still hurt with you, your wife, your children, your family, your friends, and your staff! It's a pain that grips us to the core, your fans, because we love you so deeply. May God love on us all as we , especially you, as we try to understand the non understandable.

I realized they may be in heaven, but they live in my heart. This is such a remarkable way to honor and celebrate your son's 21 years old. My prayers and heart goes out to you and so many families affected by so many tragedies. May you treasure your son for an eternity until you meet again in heaven. What a joy that's going to be! I love you, TobyMac!
Can you imagine the heart it takes to get up and do this song? I mean you can feel the pain in his voice toward the end, when he sings back up to his back up singer who takes over for him... 6:32 is beautiful - made me cry
The backup singer didn't take over for him, this is the way the song was originally written when Toby did this song with Jordan Feliz.

Nope! I so appreciate him but I didn’t have kiddos.
Makes me cry every time 🎉
We Have Lost Our Daughter , She Lived 27 Years In This World. I Thank JESUS CHRIST For Our Beautiful Daughter 💖
Toby & Amanda
My 35 year old daughter disappeared 4 years ago. she was in recovery for durg addiction when she relapsed. I to believe that we are going to make it through. It has brought me to my knees and like you letting go is the hardest thing a parent could ever do. But I too believe we are going to make it through. In this horrific pain I have found a hope in God in his Word a Living hope I never knew existed. He is very close to the Brokenhearted. Your song is a beautiful expression of God's love. Thank you!
Yesterday I was helping a homeless girl that I have tried to help a bit before..she seemed around early forties…I wept in the car..thinking that’s someone’s child Lord.. I have been praying for her…trust that God has not only you praying for your child but others…ask God to send workers to find her..help her..pray for her and to restore her to you.. I would love to know your daughters first name to pray as well
I am a recovering herion addict...started at 28 in 1994...ended in 2003 by the grace of God...I should be dead but the Father, for some reason chose to let me live...
God gave His first born son so we could see our first born again 😭😭😭
Hello beautiful lady how are you doing today dear 💋💖
On March 8th, I went to a Tobey Mac concert with my daughter, granddaughter & my dtrs mother n law. It was a big blessing to b there at the concert n what a blast I had having the Holy Spirit within my body n hearing the words of Jesus Christ, the singing words of joy n peace of my Lord n Savior, just felt so much of a blessing n the Holy Spirit within me, was just overwhelming that I was crying, because he is My Father, My God, My Jesus, my everything that applies to Emanuel, My Father. Tobey Mac I really liked your concert, it was everything I would have visioned of you. God bless n God watch over u n your family. 🌹🙏👍🎉❤️🙏🌅💐👏🌺
5:09 is just straight up goosebumps every time. So much emotion in this song, you can hear the hurt in each yell.
Man I lost it when he was yelling it made me want to cry so hard
Yea you can! You hear it and I agree with the other, how can he sing this without a hitch in his voice. Toby has helped me through a tragic death experience in my family.
@@kajesabest80 So sorry for your loss!
Tears sliding down my face right now. Just thinking about my Mom, who entered into heaven a few years ago. So I say "God has you in heaven, Mom, but I have you in my heart". God bless you, Tobymac & Diverse band!
Same🙏🙏🙏I still miss her every day!!! She was everything I wanted to be!!! Looking forward to seeing her again!!
I pray to God that he takes me before any of my children. I will never forget the day my sister lost her son, she seen me, started screaming my name running towards me with her arms out and crying, I just held her for as long as I could.
I feel like you wrote this song for me... Although my son was was only 20 years old... Your lyrics totally hit home. I had this song played at my sons services, ironically you had the lyric, Alex blues, my sons name is Alexander but we called him Alex, it left the room in silence, in awe. Such a great song, you did a beautiful job with it, thank you & I'm so sorry for your loss as well.
@Tobymac GOD BLESS YOU ,AND UR FAMAILY ,, SO SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS,, WE LOSS ONE BROTHER, TO COVID, 35 YEARS OLD AND MY OTHER TWO BROTHERS RIGHT AFTER ONE TO CANCER,, AND ONE TO OVERDOSE,, ARE HEARTS' ARE BROKEN,,,SAD, WITH JESUS !!!! AND YOUR AMAZING MUSIC WE ARE MAKING IT,, THANK YOU AGAIN,, JESUS LOVES' YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!🙏🙏🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
I’m sorry for your loss. My son, Ashton died at 21 yrs old and I too played this song at his service. Such a powerful song.
Aww I'm sorry😢 but that is a crazy coincidence sounds like a funeral guests wouldn't forget
💔May God wrap you all in His arms and give you peace knowing your precious beautiful soul you lost is with Him🕊🤍🕊
John 3:16 had that memorized since I was 3
👌👌👌👌
Me too... It felt more real than ever when I receited it a long with Toby!!
Your son passed away on my birthday. Beautiful song and words. Thank You God for You! ❤
GOD'S word says as believers we will see our love ones again when we get to HEAVEN
@Tobymac am so sorry for the loss of your son but GOD promise⁰
What a beautiful song to his son, may he rest in peace.
AMEN!!!!! THE FIRST ARTIST WHOSE EVERY SONG I'VE ABSOLUTELY LOVED EVERY SONG 🎵!!!
May God strengthen your family dear brother!🙌 ❤
Amen
Every time I see this I cry because I lost my brother recently to alcoholism…….I’m a Christian….My brother was an atheist but maybe he got time in the end
My daddy prayed many times for my brother’s death bed confession !! to cry out to God for forgiveness and that’s all it’s takes ! Your forgiven ! ! God doesn’t hold a grudge….or a lengthy scroll with all the bad things you’ve done in your life…. His love is forever!!
He wasn’t living the life he should’ve He was doing terrible things but I know he became a Christian when he was 8 yrs old Has God got my brother in Heaven I will never know the answer to that question till God takes me home
It about breaks my heart……Right before he died he told something happened to him when he was a child and alcohol took the burden away let him forget whatever it was….. Died too young Maybe he was a prodigal son like your precious sonToby Mac
My faith is so strong I love the Lord with all my heart and I loved my brother also If you reading this there is only one way to get to Heaven and that’s through Christ !! and Christ alone
As so many times when I writing about what happened to my only sibling my keyboard is blurred with tears I can’t hardly see what I write but if my story can help someone it’s worth sharing with you because it’s the family left who deals with the pain !! Forever an empty chair in a room Christmas time at any family gathering !!
I’m so so glad God took my parents home before they saw what detrimental affects of what alcoholism did to my brother !!
It was so so awful what he looked like in the end !! There’s no sugar coating it It was just so awful and such a tragedy
God in His infinite mercy kindly took my parents home before my brother died
I begged my brother pleaded with him to get help I got down on my knees pleading with him describing what it would be like for me to bury him beside my dear Daddy and Mummy He promised me he’d get help He never did
Toby Mac you have taken all that sorrow and made it into a song I pray for you and your family often Your never far from my thoughts and prayers of strength
God bless you for who you are and the hearts you will move today and every time this song you wrote for Truete" is played
Your mess had become your message "! For Christ alone is the only certainty we have in life to be Heaven bound
His love surrounds forever God bless you Toby Mac and your incredible band Hugs so many many hugs I send to you your wife your children Love from Marran xox
My son was 26, I'm looking forward to heaven daily.
I'm an Apostle in the ministry and I could say something deep and profound, but that would be my flesh & not from the Lord. Truth is, like everyone else I've read in these comments, I cry like a baby every time I hear this song. I really get pulled in to Toby's grieving and receive cleansing and strength in my grief. Thank you, my awesome brother! I can't wait to meet you before the throne where I can give you a proper hug. God bless you, your wife, your family, your band, your church & your ministry!
Thanks for sharing. Through the attached prayer for unity, I wish to encourage the disheartened and help the weak by being patient with everyone because our contract with life is broken with fragility, sadness, and anxiety.
On a balcony of space STEPPED A PURE AND HOLY GOD. IN AWESOME SOLITUDE YOU STOOD ALONE. Not one faint star to give YOU light; just endless darkness, it was blackest night. But somehow in the darkness YOU COULD SEE.
YOU SAW mountains high and lofty, YOU SAW valleys lush and green. YOU SAW babbling brooks, and wildflowers grow, YOU EVEN HEARD a robin sing. Then through YOUR COMPASSION STANDING OUT THERE IN YOUR TOMORROW, YOU SAW forum's visitors, their families and friends. 🥰
YOU SAW them as sinners (missing the mark resulting in their weaknesses prevailing causing guilt of wrong doing) because there is no intrinsic righteousness in any of us due to Adam’s sin. YOU SAW them as they grew from a baby into adulthood due to YOUR HANDS OF MERCY. 🥰 YOU SAW them pursuing a career path for the purpose of obtaining the gains of the world not realizing that it is a loss compared to what YOU DID on the cross. YOU SAW them working long and laboring hard to receive the grace by justification even though YOU stated, "This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."(John 6:29 KJV) YOU SAW the unwillingness to accept YOUR PLAN OF SALVATION THROUGH YOUR SON JESUS CHRIST. YOU SAW them living with the guilt of committing crimes to the heart. YOU SAW them enduring personal crisis. YOU SAW the weight of the burden on their hearts with each tribulation. YOU SAW them seeking comfort from the above mentioned topography, ONE OF THE MANY MARVELS YOUR PERFECT HANDS HAVE MADE. 👏👏👏 YOU SAW their worries about tomorrow.
If their hearts were a window that they could look through, oh the pains and scars they would see. What a cruel fate the skin gives as a mask to the inward pain. But the skin couldn’t cover THE SUFFERING YOUR ONE AND ONLY SON BORED on the cross as PAYMENT for all our sins because HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ALONE HAD THE MERIT TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR HOLINESS. Indeed, ONLY HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS IS SUFFICIENT TO SAVE us from this present evil world as evidenced by Mary's song of praise. "And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour." (Luke 1:46-47 KJV) Awesome thanks to YOUR GREAT PARDON for being easy on the heart. 🥰
They have seen a lot of crazy things done in YOUR NAME. For example, the father of lies futile attempts to make crooked the right ways of the LORD to turn people away from faith in the WORKS OF JESUS CHRIST ALONE. How can anyone bear the thought of his or her life story detracting from the GLORY AND HONOR KNOWN TO BELONG TO CHRIST ALONE? As a consequence, YOU ARE A MYSTERY OF GREAT MYSTERY to them. Despite this conviction, YOU ARE MINDFUL of them as evidenced by the fact that YOUR JUDGEMENT is not speedy, allowing them to pursue the desires of the flesh.
They are aware of hypocrisy in religious assemblies that like to be seen and heard. In addition, secular education teaches that there is no right and wrong, if GOD exists there is no way of relating to HIM, and moral standards shift according to the whims of fashion. Therefore, their minds are conditioned to question everything this world has to offer including “THY POWER THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE DISPLAYED.” They have accepted the heavy burden of dealing with the troubles of this life and seek to know another way, YOU THE GREAT COMFORTER TO ALL who did receive YOU as their personal SAVIOR. Still, YOU have shown them NEW MERCY every day with each thought they make and each breath they take.
Unfortunately, like the prodigal son, we are all guilty of wandering far from YOU LORD because the negative experiences of our lives tend to build roadblocks to the TRUTH. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them to identify the way, truth, and eternal life (that is YOU). Since to know and follow your SPIRIT is more exciting than any 007 movies, and YOU DELIGHT MAKING the ordinary into extraordinary. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST MAKE them understand that there is no way around YOUR TRUTH, and that there is something about YOUR NAME. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them defeat in their minds what is false in YOUR EYES.
LORD GUIDE their thoughts to know that the path of sin is hard on their hearts for the purpose of crying out to YOU to know the joy, peace of having the heavy burden LIFTED by THE GOD OF PEACE I AM, and ANCHOR their souls in THE HAVEN OF REST. In other words, LORD use the storms in their lives to get a hold of them to trust YOU and believe. In truth, YOU ARE THE JOY that seekest them through pain.
LORD HELP their fainting hearts to believe that YOU, who was slain on the cross over 2000 years ago has the POWER TO CHANGE lives today through the INSTANTANEOUS GREAT FAVOR from GOD to the house of Israel made known in believers by YOU to make YOUR NAME EVERLASTING. 🥰 For as the statue liberates the citizens so the cross liberates the soul. ONLY YOU can calm the trouble waters of the mind when one admits to wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, JESUS IS LORD, and believes in the heart that GOD RAISED HIM from the dead TO LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt away from the heart in accordance to YOUR WORD found in Psalm 51:1-10 KJV. 👏👏👏👏👏👏 O, the wonder of it all to experience within the flesh the feeling of a tree being cut back/pruned in order for it to grow stronger and more beautiful after meditating on the words of said Psalm. 🥰🙌
LORD MAKE them know that ONLY YOUR HOLY SPIRIT, through the experience of a new birth within believers, can prevent the family circle from being broken because THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE YOU HAVE GRANTED means a chapter of their lives is decided. Creation sings the rebirth song for them yearly, through YOUR PROMISE of springtime, giving rise to the idea that by the mention of YOUR NAME flowers grow, and the desert blooms again. 🥰
LORD GUIDE their understanding of words to use to come into YOUR PRESENCE with an honest reverence of WHO YOU ARE to experience the beauty that time can't erase YOUR WISDOM resting on their faces. LORD STRENGTHEN their determination to never waiver in efforts to search for YOU because the wages of sin is too high for anyone to pay. Additionally, THE KING OF KINGS is needed in their hearts to learn how to expand their capacity to love for YOU are LOVE in any language. 🥰 Once they learn to speak it with boldness through YOUR WONDERFUL COUNSELING all the world will hear, and know that LOVE is the language of their hearts. So LORD, KEEP KNOCKING on their door until they let YOU in to know hardships and struggles will end with a GREAT CELEBRATION WITH YOU. 🥰🙌
If one believes faith cannot be forced, YOU WILL GIVE that individual over to the stubborn heart to follow own counsel which will surely fail him or her to the extent that the punishment will last forever found in Psalms 81 NIV. Given this, I pray that YOU WILL MAKE that person see that this feeling is wasted for a world in which we become strangers as we age, gives us thrills instead of peace, aims to solve a problem but creates another, and unrest surges with each passing generation. Shed some light into their broken hearts for YOU ARE THE GREAT JEHOVAH, THE GOD THAT HEALETH thee.
Lastly, LORD when they call on YOU in earnest prayer to come into their hearts to be born again (repentance manifesting itself in a changed life), I pray that YOU WILL GIVE them the blessed assurance of their salvation because nothing breaks YOUR HEART, or tears YOU apart like when they cry from the trials of the devil who comes to slander, falsely accuse, steal, kill & destroy. Only by drawing nearer to YOU LORD will put them on a path to a glorious one way trip winding upward to YOU where pain is not welcome because the heart will never break anymore. For ONLY YOU UNDERSTANDS our tears since YOU LOOK at the heart, while humans look at the flesh.
O LOVE that will not let them go. When they don't have the strength to try, and have cried all they can cry hear their hearts that need YOU more today than yesterday. Many thanks LORD for speaking TRUTH in our lives TO BLESS those who are not offended by THEE. LET YOUR WILL BE DONE because YOUR LOVE ALONE CONQUERS everything by WAITING for them to cease struggling, and finally surrender to YOUR EMBRACE to learn about YOUR LOVE AND PROMISE TO TAKE CARE of your children exquisitely. 🥰 Since... "at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore"... (Psalms 16:11 KJV), and the nail print for them to know YOU by answering the following question. How did CHRIST LOVE people into a relationship with HIM? 🥰
I Love You Toby Mac ❤️
The scream always gets me, Tobymac is such a strong man of God 💜💜
I lost my son after two days in 2019. World crashed. I know he’s in Heaven. The ONLY peace we have in this crazy world is Christ. We don’t mourn as those who have no hope
Saw him perform this live in Portland Oregon last year, made me cry when he started to cry on stage.
I was just thinking how hard thats gotta be for him to do that song over n over again but hopefully God's using it to comfort n strengthen him like I know its doing for others!
Me too lost my son. February 15,2020,9 days after his 19 birthday suddenly lost my precious son. I’m catholic I pray every single night my rosary. And I believe when day I will see my son again… but it is so hard unbearable pain.
Spent the song balling my eyes out. God bless you for the truth in your music.
Me too...Im not going crazy...Thank you, I cry tears of relief and joy always when the Holy Spirit, I know is living in me.. I feel it and I can cry the relief and pain out all day...Whatever it takes!! Thank you...
Such a powerful message , children of God keep your focus in this crazy time
I believe also, I had two sons die of homicide in 3 months. My heart is with your heart Toby.. I have a song a wrote, you would sing it best. I wish i could share it. God bless you in your music ministry, it blesses many!!
Very powerful songs. Praise the one true living God that we will see our loved one's again in Heaven.
I miss you Daddy! It’s been 4 years
But I think abt u every single day. U r always my hero! God has you in heaven but I have you in my heart! It’s heart wrenching why did u leave me and go dad..
Toby, my friend just lost his 16 year old son this week. Your song describes that pain. Thanks for the song and a big hug from my family. I really felt your pain when I heard about your son.
Yes Amen yes Toby Mac.... You're on fire. Hallelujah. Yes this reminds me ofe and my husband daughter miscarriage. Pass on 5 months and 1/2 on May 27th, 2017. At 5:27 pm. Rip my daughter.
Powerful message at the beginning. Great to see Toby use his platform to spread the Gospel.
God brought my son home suddenly in his twenties. He was a born again Christian. He got messed up with the wrong kids, but he told me he'd rather die then ever take drugs again...
Its so good to see you Toby and Crew on a come back and its strong by God's Amazing Grace. Love you all, keep up the good service for Lord. Please keep my husband Leon in your prayers, he has been warring against the influence/battle of substance abuse for MANY years 🙏🏽🤗❤.
Praying for you.. My son too.. I'm so tired if it all..I know that I absolutely wish it in no one.. The addiction or the hell and pain parents go through...I prayed to God... I really want to heal and do whatever it takes to be the witness Toby has been to me and so many...
I will pray for your husband ,I too came from alcoholism and drug addiction ,through the lord jesus christ Amen 🙏🙏♥️
Latanya..i will pray for your husband and your relationship during his battle. Believe me..it isn't easy and so many times you want to give up on them and walk away, but pray..pray..pray for God's healing powers to overcome and heal your husband. Never lose faith..I battled this same thing with my husband for a large part of our marriage..walked away for a short time and felt convicted to come back & fight for him spiritually. The only thing that changed was the intervention of Jesus Christ in his life. My husband was saved by our Lord & Savior!!! We are going to be celebrating 15 years of marriage in a couple days & over 20 years together. He is now the man I've dreamed of being with my whole life thanks to God! You guys will get through this storm. Sister..I pray strength, power and encouragement over your mind, heart and soul :) God bless you!
Thank you for your heartfelt response. God has been faithful to me and I know he loves my husband and I. As I was seeking God, this scripture was shared.: 2 Timothy 3:1-6 “ But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! 6 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts.
I am believing God for my marriage. But I must not be gullible to the schemes. As you touch and agree, with me Kathy through prayer, we are going to watch God change things 😇🙏🏽🙌🏾🤗
@@latanyascullark6200 Amen sister! Agreed
Absolutely beautiful. I lost my husband to an overdose 8 years ago. He was 28. Our son was 2 and I was pregnant with our daughter he never got to meet. Just played this for them. So much beauty and hope. I became a Christ based substance abuse councilor after his death. I hope to shine light in the darkness and show addicts and those struggling that Jesus loves them.
Thank you Jesus, for showing us the way to the Father. Thanks for the song Toby, may the Lord bless you and yours. The only way to the Father is through Jesus! We have this side of eternity, to be like Jesus, “ born again “, nothing can change on the other side!
I also lost some son’s as well we just hang in there we are going to make it in JESUS name Amen.Keep singing man it been a while since I have seen you man and you are still doing it blessed it be the name of the JESUS Toby he will keep on blessing you And your family and all of y’all that is on the stage blessing all of y’all in the name of JESUS
Oh man, Toby. I loved your music but I have not listened to your music in years. Now I found this video suggestion just to found out that you've lost your son. I am so sorry for your loss . I believe that you will see your son again. Its so hard to not cry listening to this song. God bless brother.
Knowing I'll be reunited with my beautiful son Ken again one day is what keeps me going I'm making him proud. I love this song💜
My heart goes out to you and your family, Toby. Can't imagine a greater pain then losing a child. May God comfort and bring you peace as only he can. God Bless You.
May God bless you Toby, you're songs have helped so many of us through the rough areas of our lives. We love you man, keep up the amazing work that you are doing.
And to anyone reading this, I pray that you will always remember that God will never ever give up and on you, even though it may seem that way in the rough parts, that is when he is closest to you. We just need to have faith and believe that everything that happens, even the bad things will be used for our good. I pray that God blesses you all and remember to not lose hope, the darkness will end and like Toby says " We will see the light"
Amen
Hi thank you alot for reminding me that God's with me especially through the rough times I lost my dog this year and it was one of the worst days of my life because she was basically my friend/dog friend and if I could atleast say goodbye I'd be happier but the last thing I said to her was "I love you and goodnight".
The guy's voice 6:15..... is heaven....
JESUS =TRUTH🙏
Incredibly. I can feel God channeling through him. His voice is such an incredible gift to us all. God rest his 1st born, in the arms of the Almighty.
Wow..this is so touching...when you know Jesus and his promises it brings a peace that is anazing...I always wonder if I'd have that peace....praise God for Toby's music to encourage us....love you Toby...
More than a year and a haft and I still cry when I here this song!
I could have been his son. I abused drugs for over 10 years. It took an arrest, me losing everything and the only thing I had to rely on was my faith in God. He brought me out of that addiction, brought me out of that shame and heartache. God bless you Toby Mac.
I lost my son ( 19 yrs) Feb 22, 2020 very shortly after I heard this song 🎵😢💔 such a beautiful song and beautiful song to your son I actually played at my sons memorial even though he was only 19 because it's such a beautiful song!
I lost my 19 yr old nephew almost 2 years ago. This song really hit home.
This literally brought me to tears!!!! Gabe up there killing it too!!
Toby come to Abilene Tx and I'll be the first in line!!
I too lost my only child my only son 15th August 2021 ,💔 God keeps me strong , and yes Toby you are right , we will see our sons again when God finally calls us home 💙🙏 sending love & strength to everyone out there Godbless us all Amen 🙏💙💕 .......Beautiful song thankyou for sharing 🙏
I lost my 1 and Only Beautiful Daughter at age 14 years old, in a car accident in 1999 . The worst pain I have ever had in my life 💔 But knowing she is with God 💖‼️ and that I will see her again 💞😊🙌🏻✝️ is what I hold on to everyday 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻‼️
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!
I love hoy Toby and my favorite song Is everything love you
Prayers for the Darnell family they lost their 26 yr old daughter. And prayers for the boyfriend for salvation.
Outstanding performance 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Just lost my only beloved son, Russ 🕊. He was an Angel walking the earth.
He read the Bible from front to back and quoted scripture.
😭
Your incredible song came at exactly the perfect moment. I am so sad to hear of your loss, Toby. God has used this song to answer so many prayers for a dear friend. May your beautiful song reach all of those who unfortunately have had to walk this road too. They are home. Amen ♥
I lost my prodigal son Colt July11th to a horrible single truck accident July4th. He knew the lord
I just lost my little light... now I know He holds that light in his loving righteousness right hand🙏🏻and now His Hand holds my broken heart💔 My prayers and thoughts are with you and your son!! GOD BLESS YOU AND THE MESSAGE YOU HAVE GIVEN THE WORLD.. what a gift!!❤️
I just have to praise GOD for the Love he showed my Daughter. THANK YOU GOD for saving her soul!!
Addiction almost took her from us. If she had died during that time she would have died and gone to hell! I do not say this lightly. On January 1 2003 she came into the house and said "I have accepted Jesus Christ as MY GOD!"
My first thought was "Yeah Right." She had tried to stop her addiction but never did. She would stop for a while but then would fall to the cravings of drugs.
Over the next 6 months we saw this "Full Blown Addict" (that is what a counselor with 30 years experience told us) change. She was happy. She was praising GOD and her Love for Jesus was evident for the first time in her LIFE!
Here we are 19 years later and she is married - 2 daughters of her own and still loves Jesus.
I have to be honest, in 2002 we never thought she would make it to 2003.
Thank you Jesus!!!
Can’t watch this without weeping. So powerful. My spirit is moved.
Wow. Just wow. Well done
In your Heart Toby to The right of Jesus brother. Remember only through Jesus Christ we will see Our Father and loves ones. So the hurt will go because the love remains.
We gonna see the light see it daily look up.
God bless you Tmac and band. You guys are so real, so talented, so inspiring. You’re right about this hope through Jesus Christ. I’m so thankful for it. Thank you for this reminder and being a great light in the music industry. 💡
