I work in the medical field, but I do not believe we have the answer to the drug crisis in America. I pray that Toby Mac will become a voice for God’s power to release people from the grips of drugs.
I just discovered Toby Mac about a year ago, when after almost 5 years sober, I relapsed for about 5 months. This song feels personal for 2 reasons, I lost a son in 2006 from SIDs and also because, the struggle is real. Just bought tickets today to see Toby Mac in Washington in September, around my 1 year new sobriety date. So excited!!
Im glad that his music speaks to your Spirit. I pray that you will find other Godly men and women who will Disciple you as you continue to continue on your walk.
Toby & Amanda: God took my 27 year old only son, 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 …….
Blows me away that he could get through that song without breaking down. Doesn't matter how many times I've heard it, I at least choke up at some point while I'm trying to sing along. A lot of times it's a full-on weeping session. I think it's such a testament to his beliefs and his faith. Someday I'll get back to that place.
Don't wait. Cuz you never know......the Gospel APPLIES TO BACKSLIDERS TOO.....I AM dealing w Grief....it will cut you to the marrow. Thank God we got Tobymac because his MUSIC GOT ME THRU THE BLACK HOLE Man.
My 24 year old son recently passed away because some gave him a fake Xanax pill with fentanyl. I just came across this song while I was getting my disabled daughter ready for school and it has touched my heart so deeply❤️ Thank you for such beautiful words it has uplift me….🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️
@ShantaFranklin I'm so sorry for your loss! The last person I gave Cpr to had taken a pill like your son did. Praise God he lived! But I know thousands are killed from fentanyl. Here is a poem God gave me when I lost my twins in 97. It has carried me thru my oldest son who passed just 2 years ago.
My dad showed me this song about a year ago. We both loved it and found such a big message within it. A year later, here I am sitting listening to it processing the grief from losing my father. Thank you Jesus! Everything happens for a reason and it’s all in your timing. Amen.
This song touch me deeply. I lost my 21 year old son to suicide on 1/13/2022. He had such a good soul, it was such a loss. I listen to this song all the time now.
It was so so so wild when he started talking, I knew the into so oh my gosh! Every time I watch this… I have the album… I tear up. It appears that the scream he does, it looked like his checks were wet from tears. I don’t know how he could even get it done! 💞💞💞
This coming 01-14 2023 will be 4yrs my son has been gone with the lord he was 21yrs old ,I praise God because I know I will see him Again Tobymac your music is a blessing to my soul!
my son also died in January of 2021! just a few weeks after we lost my daddy. It was the most difficult time in my life. so many things about this song that hits me... mostly "are you happy where you are?... did you see him from a long way off! did you wrap him up inside your arms and let him know he is home? " I miss him with every beat of my heart and breath in my lungs. I pray you find peace. I can't wait to go home!
Toby someone here wrote that if he were at the concert he would have tears streaming down his face. Well I'm not at the concert and I've got two rivers running down my face. I'm a father that lost my firstborn son also and my heart goes out to you. I'd like to tell you that it gets better but it really doesn't. You got the right mindset and that's how you cope. If you read this please express my sympathy to your wife. As the years pass if you look you'll see the lesson that was in this that doesn't make sense today. I understand now and although it hurts I have peace with it. I love everything you do for our Lord and I thank you for the great music through the years. You've always got a friend and supporter here thanks.... D
I too have lost my first born son💔. It’s been 19 months of heartache that’s unbearable. My son was 25. I miss him so much. I ache for my baby. I will praise God through the storm but I will be crying also💔
@@iamhis5580 its OK to cry,I lost my only son David,4 years ago,still cry,and miss him. His work here,was just done,so I find peace in him being free from his struggles. I pray everyday for us parents who lost our children.
Us also geoblastima . She accepted Our Lord Jesus Christ gift at our church that she didn't attend . One year later she is at death's door my pastor shows up and telling all about her coming to the altar dates and all . So humbled by that .
I hold to that same promise, my daughter passed 8 years ago. And this is not my home. What a great homecoming that will be . Thank you Jesus Christ for your gift and promise ❤
I'm literally crying just by seeing it and hearing it, I can't imagine how I could had reacted if I were in that concert, this song just hit me so hard every time I hear it
my husband and i drove home from fun beach trip when this song came on spotify... that was the end of us, weeping with our confused kids sitting in the backseat
One of the best live performances that I've ever seen....brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it....I'm a father and I know TobyMac is singing this song from his heart and soul like he"s never sang before....because he's not just singing about his son, he's singing to him.......
@@irenebaudoin8598 Behind their "cool sounding music" lies list of sick and evil rituals, the all must do in order to have their time in the spotlight. For there is A PRICE to everything, including the rich and famous lives on this earth. Mark 1:13 And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him. Hebrews 2:18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. Hebrews 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Luke 4:2 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. Matthew 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. James 4:7 - Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 2 Corinthians 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 1 Thessalonians 3:5 For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain. The same way Christ was tempted, so are all humans also tempted: “Bow down to lucifer and all the earthly riches he will give to you” - and that's how we got our human entertainers (singers, actors, influencers), they were tempted with the “cool lives to live on earth” and they fell for it. The Blood Contract - as they all call it, and at the end of it, the biggest price to pay. Why did they fell? - because mankind is no longer raised up with the truth and in the truth. Proverbs 22:6 - Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Sadly we do the opposite with the younger generations and train them up all the ways they should not go. Leaving them in danger of getting tempted by satan and without the Armour of GOD. Ephesians 6:11 - Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
YES WE WILL SEE OUR SONS AGAIN ❤ THANK YOU HOLY SPIRIT ( MOM LOVES AND MISSES YOU DEARLY MY SON ERIC MARCH 22.1983 - SEPTEMBER 13.2002 ) THANK YOU LORD FOR YOUR BEAUTIFUL GIFTS
My condolences. I lost my 2 boys young too. This song helps but digs deep. Cuts deep. Thanks for sharing your grief with us. 🙏🏼 👊🏼❤️ John 3:16 amen. Me and my boys too. 👍🏼👍🏼 Thanks for turning your grief and trauma into something good. I am doing the same with a project in their name to help kids in Africa going through the disease that took them and other rare diseases too. For the glory of God. "God has you in Heaven. But I have you in my heart. I have you in my heart." 🥺 We gon see the Light
I discovered Toby Mac recently, after losing my precious son who was just 25 years old. I do not understand, 11 months before he passed, he was shot twice in the chest with a double barrel shotgun and survived. God gave him back to me twice already, just to take him away in a car accident. He had told me that he died when he was shot, but I was not listening to his message, and was just thankful God sent him back to me. The night my daughter called to tell me he had just died in her arms the only thing I can remember is screaming Nooooo! I feel it when Toby bellows his reaction towards the end of this song because it is the same as mine. I never knew the waves of pain and waves of tears could come in so many different ways. It has been 5 months now and it has not gotten better or became any lighter. The tears just freely fall from my eyes with no warning. I was not allowed to see my son because of the extent of his injuries, so I had these terrible last thoughts of my baby as he took his last breaths in the arms of my baby girl. Toby Mac, thank you for this song and sharing it with us. It has brought a better picture in my head because now I can picture him running to the arms of our Father and him being welcomed home.
Cry your tears now Unleash your pain now Greet your fears now For in the Kingdom These things will be left at the door no more to try and silence you. A M E N
I lost my son in 2014 to murder. I just learned of this song today!!! I am sure I have listened to it at least 10x now. This song means so much to me. I can't thank you enough ❤
My 31 year old son (CJ) PASSED 7/22/21. I'm struggling to keep going. I listen to this daily. Miss him so much can't stand to be in my own skin. This gives me hope
Lost my husband of almost 21 years to cancer March 4, 2018, when he was just 46. My partner…best friend..father to our four children. This song resonates with me. Haven’t lost my faith but can’t help but miss him.
Toby! We lost our son 1.5 years ago! This song ministers to me and my wife and family! Zion ministered to millions!! Come see us at Ocala!! #zionsarmy IgniteMinistriesOcala
I lost my 19 year old daughter in August to embolism. Lost my mom jan 7 and my dad on Sat. My dad cried out to God to repent a day before he died. That broke me
Oh Toby my nephew, who was a son to me, passed the exact same way your son passed almost exactly a year later. This song is so powerful to me. I hate drugs...God has them in Heaven...I hope you get this. Amen brother
The most beautiful promise I always think of daily is that there is No more Pain in Heaven. I have peace in knowing that my son is resting, and I will definitely see him again. Thank you Lord for your faithfulness 🙏🏼🥰
Just lost my son this pass July, God gave us 29 wonderful years with him and this was the song I played at his celebration of life 💔 🙏 this song speaks to my heart and soul..thanks tobymac for sharing your son through this song 🎵
I don't know how you got thru this song, I'm crying at the first verse. Be blessed and know God is in control but also may he bless and keep you close until you're home.
Both of my sisters just had a lost .One lost a husband, the other a daughter. My first thought they must hear this song. Wow,21 year says another. God bless you Toby God is good. And God this is not our home, and we see our love one again. ❤
Tobymac, thank you so much for your encouragement to us in this very dark and difficult world. You allowed yourself to embrace your loss, as hard as it was and still is, causing so much light to shine in you and through you to all of us who need the next push forward. Our Father is so good and kind and you've reminded us of His amazing work in people's hearts even in the darkness!! Blessings to you and to the awesome Diverse City Band and to your beautiful family!!! We're praying that the Lord continues to use you and strengthen you for every good work!!! Greetings to you from the city of Bethlehem in the Holy Land.
I lost my 21 year son to suicide February 7, 2023. This album is dripping in grief and victory. It has offered so much comfort. Attending concert in Toledo in November
Thanks so much Toby for giving us this song, it's of such comfort. I have "lost" my 3 adult children to liberal woke ideas, they have turned away from God & His loving truth & become prodigals. They have cancelled, ghosted & blocked me, & have alienated my 4 grandkids from me for over 3 years- it's like they died. Please pray that my prodigals come back to their heavenly Father & their earthly one too. This Father's Day was a tough one to get thru but God is faithful & good! Praise Him!
Your children are still alive. How DARE you compare yourself to him? His child is gone. Dead and gone. Shame on you for using this platform to spread your political agenda and views. YOUR CHILDREN ARE STILL ALIVE. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU????
This is so relevant for me right now... my wife`s sister was found lifeless in her apartment this morning. ironically, nearly 3 years to the day that my wife "went home". " Tomorrow is promised to no one "... but Gods everlasting Love is promised to all who believe in Him
Truy was one of a kind he was such a great kid I was in Sunday school with him and he loved his Lord and Savior with all his heart. He will be missed. There’s not one day I think about how such a great kid he is
This song is beautiful!! I lost my beautiful boy October 24/2021 Rip Justin forever 29 ❤😢 Until i see you again, my sweet boy.. Addiction and mental health is one hell of a struggle, i do believe God took my boy and he is finally at peace.. Thank you Tobymac God bless
Wow Your message hit me hard as well as this song .I lost my only son on Oct 27 2022 my first born and I'm at a impass bit hearing this song and seeing your message gave me strength in my faith the lord knows best and he took our sons to rest easy with him .I love this song because he speaks the words my heart is feeling everyday .stay strong and god bless ..
Sorry about your son! We also lost our son at the age of 29 due his struggle with mental battles and self treatment of drugs and alcohol! He was a christian who lost a battle, but we know he won the war! This song has brought some healing. Thanks for sharing.
My firstborn son of 42yr just passed. He fought that battle for dacads. I feel he gave himself to our Lord and that he was tired and wanted to go home. I am so beside myself sometimes I can't breathe. This song reminds me that I am not alone in my grief and my son's in our Father's arms. Prays God and thank you for being with all of us who are going through the same thing. God bless you and your wife.
Well the tears care Rollin down my face. We lost our son to suicide Dec 2018. We didn't see this coming. It feels like yesterday. It still hurts and I don't think that pain will go away until I'm called home. Time doesn't heal wounds but GOD DOES. We keep pressing through. I feel your pain bro. I also feel the comfort of knowing I'll see him again. Thank you for sharing your heart Toby ✝️ God allows these things to happen so we can help those facing the same struggles. Today He used you to lift me up. Agape, Karen
There will be moments when your faith falters, when you’re lonely or exhausted or just plain sad. There will be moments where grief grabs ahold of you and crumbles you to the ground, where all that you’ve believed feels empty, and when each breath feels like a chore. But in these moments, you will find redemption and power in His name. In these moments, if you choose to follow Him, He will guide you away from the heartbreak, the loneliness, the death, the loss, the toughest moments of your life, and back into His arms. May the God blessed you always Toby.
I had never heard of this artist and I just was scrolling one day here recently and this song really brought me to my knees and heavy tears my heart just broken into a million pieces and I don't know how to go on without my son I truly don't all I do know is that I want you to know that this song really resonated with me with how I feel about my son also he knew the Lord we would pray together he would go to church he had went high even some lady one day she said don't be ashamed he is right where he needs to be his hardest on the right place but his mind doesn't and the lady that we went to church with is someone that watched him grow up she got upset with Nick and instead of being like a true Christian should be kind and compassionate and understanding addictions because they are in her family also you would think she would understand and she could have been someone that Drew someone and made it feel like a privilege that she could bring someone that was crying out for help very depressed not behind a 14 year old little girl that needed her daddy so badly but she needed him straight he battled with addiction for over 15 years and so did I with him hand in hand step by step I didn't think he would live past his 25th birthday but thank God he did March 21st of this year 2022 my son passed away it had some 34-year-old son and father and brother and uncle this is what he left behind a grieving mother and it does come in waves you try so hard to be strong and I walk and talk with the Lord all day long I have for the past 2 years I was on a church for 13 because I had my eyes on people in the church instead of where that my eyes should have been which should have been looking to the Lord and praying for those that were doing things that I knew wasn't right this young man that you see in this photo holding a little girl this is my son at 23 and his daughter probably was about 2 years old nobody seems to get it nobody the pain the grief the hurt the emptiness the struggle to go on to get through one day at a time or to put one foot in front of the other this song has blessed me so much and reminds me so much of my son I want to say thank you for making a song is beautiful as this one is that what I will always listen to cuz it makes me feel close to my son and my heavenly father you know I think that my son I recognize that he used to sing bits and pieces of this song in the car when I would be driving so he already knew this song he loved music all kinds of music Christian music rap just different kind of music he kind of liked a little bit of all of it I would like to get my condolence to the loss of your son and at the same time wish you a Merry Christmas to your family and a Happy New Year's for my family to your family this song is awesome it truly is keep on keeping on whatever you're doing with your music because it is blessing people I am so sure of it and comforting their pain of losing someone they love that was so very close to them like a child God bless you brother and like you said the band that was up there I'm sure they were all awesome backstage but this band is awesome I give you props hit thank you for being there for this man and his family God bless you and I hope that one day I see you in heaven because God is coming back soon and he is a patient God he doesn't desire for one person to perish everyone better get serious and everyone better open their eyes and see and know that our heavenly father that died on that cross that day Jesus Christ our Lord and our savior he is coming back like the Bible says get ready I am making sure that I get ready and doing everything I know in my heart to do what's right so I don't miss out because I want to see my son again

Never heard of TobyMac. I was in a lot of pain because I had lost both parents very recently and I listen to this song and granted I am a believer in Christ. This beautiful song restored my beliefs of the Lord again. I could not believe the beautiful heart this man had to stand before the world and thank the Lord for 21 years for his son. It reminded me that initially everyone in our lives is a and restored my faith in the Lord. Praise you God for Beautiful brothers and sisters by TobyMac who can professor beautiful voice and restore our faith
Hey, Toby , Your Songs Are So Spiritual I Get A Blessing Every Time II Hear Your Songs. Thank You .God Bless You. ❤ And You Will See Your Son Again. It's Goodbye Here. And Hello In Heaven.
Singing see the light after 21 years was a real good declaration of faith and you gotta feel for toby...... U can literally see him so down and depressed after singing 21 years and his man comes and helps him oit
My 33yr old daughter died yesterday over drug addiction. But, God gave us three weeks in ICU with her. She made it right with God. She was a Christmas miracle. This song is so amazing, so anointed! Love you Toby Mac!
@Michelle Hall I'm so sorry for your loss! My son died 2 years ago and I have just begun mourning and healing, thank you Jesus! My mother & I were able to make a nice memorial for my son on her patio that has his ashes & his picture with some beautiful plants, which my mother has never been able to grow... we laughingly say that the reason that they haven't died is that my son is the Gardener! His watch alarm goes off every day at 2:30pm reminding us that he is still here with us in spirit! we always say Hi & I have learned to talk to him even though he's not here in body. I learned this from my little boy, Jacob, who had been kidnapped, when we reunited, he asked me, Did you used to cry for me, Mama? when I replied yes, he said "I knew you did Mama...cuz I would lay in my bed and I would hear you crying and I would say "Mama, it's okay! I'll be home soon, I'm okay-dont cry Mama!”😿💖👼 out of the mouths of babes👶 he taught me that even though he was over 600 miles away that we were still connected in spirit🌌! I'm going to share a poem, a couple of poems actually (it's a link cuz I don't know how to add a picture to the Comments) the 1st poem is when I lost my long prayed for twins🧒🧒👣👣👨❤️👨 that lived only 4 hours & died in our hands🤲; it was truly devastating 💦 & because my husband & I grieved differently, we separated 4 months after the twins death, so this poem carried me not only through losing them but also through my divorce. since then it has comforted me in many other ways. The 2nd poem is what God gave me & I read at my son's memorial just 2 years ago💌. Michael Shay died 11 days before his 33rd birthday, which was also very unexpected & devestating💔💦😿. I hope they 💞 comfort you as well. I pray that as you heal, you can turn your pain into a passion somehow🌈... there are many, many still suffering with addiction🩺🩹💊, & I don't know if that's the direction you might go but somehow allow God to use your pain for good in honor of your daughter🕯️🎉. I've tried to continue my son's legacy🎊 by just commenting and sharing with others OUR story & it is truly healing my broken heart!!🩹💔 💦🌈🌹 And my grandmother put it in her book "Roses, Raindrops And Rainbows"; these are the RAINDROP💦 days, the RAINBOW🌈 is God's Hope that something Good can & will result from this suffering & the ROSES are the FINAL results of the raindrops... And the word says dearly beloved, for I reckon that the sufferings of this present time shall not be worthy to be compared to the GLORY that shall be REVEALED WITHIN US... Remember the way she left here has NOTHING TO DO with WHO SHE WAS & what she meant to you & what she brought to this world💝🌍! Thank you for sharing your pain, from one grieving Mama to another💞... I send my compassion 💝& prayers🛐!
We lost our son also (August 29, 2021) 11 days after his daughters first birthday, 18 days after my 52nd birthday. I pray for you and your family in your time of loss. We lost Jason in a stupid motorcycle accident. 2 blocks away from his house. Senseless. I cussed God, Why didn't you take me! Instead! God must have needed Jason in His Army in Heaven more. This i believe. We ALL will be with him again ❤😊
This is the song I’ve been looking for my only son got killed in a car wreck. He was 22. He was the best son you could ever have, and he got saved 6 weeks before i’ve been trying to find a song for him and this is it. Love you man.
I used to own a cat named Kala and song just made me cry. But every time I feel a little bit stronger. Thank the Lord and everything he has done in your life and in mine.
I lost my dad unexpectedly and this song has given me great comfort. My daddy was 91 years old and I wanted another 91 years. God was so merciful and took daddy quickly and without suffering. I know I will see him again and my mother was there at Heaven’s gate waiting for him ❤️
I think a lot of people have been through this really, you start understand that when it happens to you. You never expect someone you care about to be there one day and gone the next but it happens all the time sadly.
It's always the people who get hurt that help so many who are hurt. It's so evident that Toby's life wasn't easy. The song the elements came out before truest left and it already seemed hard enough for Toby. Toby has helped so many through his hard time.
I lost my 25 year-old friend the same way as Toby’s son, to an overdose. This song helped me overcome the loss so much. I pray for anyone struggling with an addiction, it’s never easy but I promise it’s much better than leaving your loved ones behind. Even in the midst of the storms the Lord is there for us. It’s hard to understand but I know he is 🙏🏼✝️
Loss can hit you in many ways be it your child, sibling, parents, friends. I have experienced all of the above. This song brought me to tears. It’s so brutally honest yet so optimistic. When I lost my son I though I’d never stop crying. But I did and eventually I came back to God and let go of the anger I carried. While a piece of my heart is gone, I know it will be whole again. I am ok when it comes my time My momma is taking care of her grandson until I get there.🙏🏼😔
Beautiful Song--- I lost one on my best friend's & after 5 months, she appeared to me first thing in the morning & said "Don't Speak Just Listen, Don't Weep For Me, Because The Problems We Have Are All Here" So we we leave this earth-- The Lord Will Be Waiting For Us & All Our Problems Will. All Be Over. Thank you Jesus for Loving Us Enough To Give Your Life So That We May Also Live Again. ✝️🙏❣️
I LOVE how they ended this heartbreaking song.. "we gonna see the Light"..... when everything looks dark, there is ONE thing to be assured by.. The Light will help u look UP and to hang on ..
I just wanna see Toby and hug him sooooo much he has been my favorite Christian singer and he brought me closer to him ☺️ people may wonder why he is sooo Godly and his son died well this song describes it. And Toby if you see this I may not see you in this life but I will see you in heaven and you son as well, and your son is gonna say “thank you dad welcome home ☺️”
Hayley... That is sooo faithful... what a promise... Amen. God is GOOD ,even when things are against you 1thousand fold. Keep TRUSTING God. I can't wait to see ALL my Family in Christ ,bcz right now I DONT really have much or anyone... I continue to look ahead to that ONLY HOPE "Jesus". Blessings 🕊.
@@galatians2_20 I am so happy to here this :), and I’m so glad that you are a believer, I will never let God go, you don’t either :), things will get better, just keep in God’s faith and keep trusting in him and just keep your life focused on him and God will help you get through things cause he does the impossible:), God bless you my friend, stay strong
Tobymac has such powerful music especially 21 years and a lot of my friends really don't like him and tell me I have bad taste but it doesn't bother me because I know Toby is doing it for the kingdom thanks Toby for all the wonderful music keep up the amazing work
Beauty of music like this; you can enjoy this yourselves, it doesn't matter if others don't like it because maybe this song hits deep where you can relate to it. No matter where they run or hide, God is always with you with open arms.
Just lost my son on 12/31/2021 and this song speaks to me on so many levels. Even though the pain is unbearable I know that I will see him again when it's my time to go. Thank you Jesus for that assurance.
Wow, God gave His Firstborn so you can see your firstborn again... amazing and you're so strong for sharing this song with us Toby. I don't think I could ever sing about a loved one of mine.
I lost my son to suicide and this song has ministered to me. That’s not the beginning of all the traumatic losses, but the most recent was my identical twin sister and I am still here for a reason.
Lost my firstborn son about 10 months ago at the young age of 19 and this song was recommended to me by another grieving dad who lost his son too. So thankful for this song even though I break down everyone I hear it. T
I also lost my first born son in 2013. I don’t know why God allows bad things to happen. When I feel abandoned by God and even angry at Him, I remind myself that God also knows what it’s like to lose a son. If He was ever going to turn His back on me it would have been on the cross. But He died. Jesus didn’t fail me. He made a way for me to be with my son again. One day I will go to him. See you soon my son. Praise Jesus for Your brutal death. Forgive me of my sin.
Toby, I've been listening for you for about 9 years now. I'm almost 14, which means I've been watching since I was 4-5. One of my favorite songs was Hypeman. I always listened to it with my dad, and I enjoyed every moment. I hope you're doing well. Edit: every time I listen to this song, I almost cry, and I'm not one to cry easily.
My heart breaks for Toby and Amanda so much. But I know they will see their son again. Just like I will see my parents and grandparents again. Thank you for singing this song. It means so much to me. I love you both.💜🩵
I lost my firstborn September 2021.. I dont know how you are able to sing this song without your heart breaking, but ai thank God for it. This song breaks my heart and gives me peace at the same time. GOD bless you!!
♥️♥️🙏🙏this song comes deeply to my heart and comforts my soul afirming that my son is in heaven. We lost our wild child 25 years ol only 4.5 months ago. Grieve is letting us almost killed still we continue here until we see the light which brings peace and no pain anymore♥️♥️
Beautiful, I too lost my son at the age of 36, and yes we will see them again, they are just over the hill waiting for us, and all of this will no longer exist, we will no longer remember the bad that happened, God Bless you and all listeners and grieving parents...
I'm getting baptized next month on July the 16th and a couple of Sundays I chose to give my life to God and a have a very wonderful church family and a wonderful real family and my Mom and my pastor's son's and a lot of my Christian Friends are all a true blessing to me to be honest I may not be rich with lots of money but I'm rich with love and joy and no one can take that away from me
Powerful song! Thank for still sharing how to go to heaven. You never know who might be there or hear this performance who needs to know how to be saved.
Wow… This was great! I know of a mom who lost son only a few weeks ago, she is so devastated. I don’t know her personally, I’m not sure that she is saved. Please pray for her, she needs what only God can give. I hope she can see this.
Jesus Christ shed his blood & died for our sins according to the scriptures...he was buried & rose again the third day...trust him & what he did for you & you will be SAVED…(1 Corinthians 15:1-4, Ephesians 2:8-9, Ephesians 1:12-13, Romans 4:24-25, Romans 4:5 & 1 Timothy 2:3-6).
i lost a child when i was married to my first wife..where she had to abort the child at about 4 months in pregnancy....i never got to hold him but i know the child is in heaven waiting to see me
I am crying listening to this. I love TobyMac. More so, I love the lord.
Same here, crying as well. He is faithful, and one day He will wipe EVERY tear from our eyes! ❤️
remind us Lord that no matter how bad it looks You will turn it to good somehow
I work in the medical field, but I do not believe we have the answer to the drug crisis in America. I pray that Toby Mac will become a voice for God’s power to release people from the grips of drugs.
I just discovered Toby Mac about a year ago, when after almost 5 years sober, I relapsed for about 5 months. This song feels personal for 2 reasons, I lost a son in 2006 from SIDs and also because, the struggle is real. Just bought tickets today to see Toby Mac in Washington in September, around my 1 year new sobriety date. So excited!!
Right on! This man puts on a good show. You won't be disappointed! God bless!
A
I'm going to see him in WA too! Can't wait!
Im glad that his music speaks to your Spirit. I pray that you will find other Godly men and women who will Disciple you as you continue to continue on your walk.
That’s so awesome - welcome to the funky Jesus music family, Michelle!!!
Toby & Amanda: God took my 27 year old only son, 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 …….
Absolutely couldn’t have said it better myself. The grief nearly kills us.
Wow…beautifully written. I’m so sorry for your loss. So thankful you know Jesus. Still, I can’t imagine the pain ans hurt. But God…🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️😰😰😰
Sorry, but did 'God take your son,' or did he kill himself through drugs? These are totally different things.

I lost my 21 yr old daughter to fentanyl and just heard this song for the first time today 😭❤️ it's so beautiful ..
🙏💙🙏💙🙏
❤❤❤❤❤
Blows me away that he could get through that song without breaking down. Doesn't matter how many times I've heard it, I at least choke up at some point while I'm trying to sing along. A lot of times it's a full-on weeping session. I think it's such a testament to his beliefs and his faith. Someday I'll get back to that place.
There's only one answer to how he got through this and that's Jesus Christ
My eyes teared up before he ever started singing.
Don't wait. Cuz you never know......the Gospel APPLIES TO BACKSLIDERS TOO.....I AM dealing w Grief....it will cut you to the marrow. Thank God we got Tobymac because his MUSIC GOT ME THRU THE BLACK HOLE Man.
Ya
Amen and Amen
Same here!! This song just so real!!!
My 32 yr old son died from fentynal last year. Thank you! ❤️😥
Aww prayers 🙏
He's in good Hands 🙌
❤❤
My 24 year old son recently passed away because some gave him a fake Xanax pill with fentanyl. I just came across this song while I was getting my disabled daughter ready for school and it has touched my heart so deeply❤️ Thank you for such beautiful words it has uplift me….🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️
Oh no.... I'm so sorry 😔
Prayers for you!!💕🙏🏼💕🙏🏼
Prayers you way🙏🏼
@ShantaFranklin I'm so sorry for your loss! The last person I gave Cpr to had taken a pill like your son did. Praise God he lived! But I know thousands are killed from fentanyl. Here is a poem God gave me when I lost my twins in 97. It has carried me thru my oldest son who passed just 2 years ago.
My son died from drug laced with fentanyl,he was 37🙏🏻2020
My dad showed me this song about a year ago. We both loved it and found such a big message within it. A year later, here I am sitting listening to it processing the grief from losing my father. Thank you Jesus! Everything happens for a reason and it’s all in your timing. Amen.
Praying over you. God Bless you❤
Lost my son-in-law 3 years ago from overdose he was like a son to me for 24 years RIP Reggie you have a beautiful grandson now love you
❤❤
This song touch me deeply. I lost my 21 year old son to suicide on 1/13/2022. He had such a good soul, it was such a loss. I listen to this song all the time now.
♥️♥️
God has not forgotten your son, nor you. You will one day be reunited. God’s love is perfect and beyond our understanding.
I feel your pain, momma. I lost my son to suicide 9/2019. Sending you big virtual hugs.
I am so so sorry. Sending hugs.
I am so sorry for your loss 😢
Who else got goosebumps and felt the Holy Spirit's presence when he was talking?
I do every time
🙌🏽 #JusticeForAhmadMorales I love you son 💙💙
I do everytime. Amazing testament of faith. God bless TobyMac.
Definitely
It was so so so wild when he started talking, I knew the into so oh my gosh! Every time I watch this… I have the album… I tear up. It appears that the scream he does, it looked like his checks were wet from tears. I don’t know how he could even get it done! 💞💞💞
6:44 A Father's cry after his firstborn child. Such a powerful song.
It hits hard.
This coming 01-14 2023 will be 4yrs my son has been gone with the lord he was 21yrs old ,I praise God because I know I will see him Again Tobymac your music is a blessing to my soul!
This song is so beautiful, my oldest son passed in February and I know he's in heaven💙
I'm so sorry sorry for the loss of your son. Peace be still. Jesus continue hold her in your arms. Amwn
@@irenebaudoin8598 Thank you, please keep me and my family in prayer.
GOD bless you Meeki!
my son also died in January of 2021! just a few weeks after we lost my daddy. It was the most difficult time in my life. so many things about this song that hits me... mostly "are you happy where you are?... did you see him from a long way off! did you wrap him up inside your arms and let him know he is home? " I miss him with every beat of my heart and breath in my lungs. I pray you find peace. I can't wait to go home!
I also lost my only son October 24th 2021, I know he’s in heaven ✨🤍🕊️💟✨
You will see your son again🤍
Jesus is so GREAT!!!!!
All glory to God 💓
Amen 🙏🏻🤍
Toby someone here wrote that if he were at the concert he would have tears streaming down his face. Well I'm not at the concert and I've got two rivers running down my face. I'm a father that lost my firstborn son also and my heart goes out to you. I'd like to tell you that it gets better but it really doesn't. You got the right mindset and that's how you cope. If you read this please express my sympathy to your wife. As the years pass if you look you'll see the lesson that was in this that doesn't make sense today. I understand now and although it hurts I have peace with it. I love everything you do for our Lord and I thank you for the great music through the years. You've always got a friend and supporter here thanks.... D
Beautifully said. My condolences to both of you❤️🙏🏿
@@cecilemukandasingwa296 I humbly thank you ma'am. Soli Deo Gloria
So sorry for your loss and thank you for also sharing your testimony 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I too have lost my first born son💔. It’s been 19 months of heartache that’s unbearable. My son was 25. I miss him so much. I ache for my baby. I will praise God through the storm but I will be crying also💔
@@iamhis5580 its OK to cry,I lost my only son David,4 years ago,still cry,and miss him. His work here,was just done,so I find peace in him being free from his struggles.
I pray everyday for us parents who lost our children.
My youngest daughter died in 2009, but we will see her again when Jesus comes to take us home! Amen 🙏
Praise God
Us also geoblastima . She accepted Our Lord Jesus Christ gift at our church that she didn't attend . One year later she is at death's door my pastor shows up and telling all about her coming to the altar dates and all . So humbled by that .
I hold to that same promise, my daughter passed 8 years ago.
And this is not my home. What a great homecoming that will be . Thank you Jesus Christ for your gift and promise ❤
If I was actually at that concert during this part of the show, I would probably have tears streaming down my face.
I had tears streaming just listening to the live song
I'm literally crying just by seeing it and hearing it, I can't imagine how I could had reacted if I were in that concert, this song just hit me so hard every time I hear it
my husband and i drove home from fun beach trip when this song came on spotify... that was the end of us, weeping with our confused kids sitting in the backseat
@@adampennington979 Same
Shane, it is definitely an emotional moment for sure.
One of the best live performances that I've ever seen....brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it....I'm a father and I know TobyMac is singing this song from his heart and soul like he"s never sang before....because he's not just singing about his son, he's singing to him.......
Amen brother ❤🙏
@@irenebaudoin8598 Behind their "cool sounding music" lies list of sick and evil rituals, the all must do in order to have their time in the spotlight. For there is A PRICE to everything, including the rich and famous lives on this earth.
Mark 1:13
And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.
Hebrews 2:18
For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
Hebrews 4:15
For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Luke 4:2
Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.
Matthew 4:10
Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
James 4:7 - Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
2 Corinthians 2:11
Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
1 Thessalonians 3:5
For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain.
The same way Christ was tempted, so are all humans also tempted:
“Bow down to lucifer and all the earthly riches he will give to you” - and that's how we got our human entertainers (singers, actors, influencers), they were tempted with the “cool lives to live on earth” and they fell for it. The Blood Contract - as they all call it, and at the end of it, the biggest price to pay.
Why did they fell? - because mankind is no longer raised up with the truth and in the truth.
Proverbs 22:6 - Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Sadly we do the opposite with the younger generations and train them up all the ways they should not go. Leaving them in danger of getting tempted by satan and without the Armour of GOD.
Ephesians 6:11 - Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
YES WE WILL SEE OUR SONS AGAIN ❤ THANK YOU HOLY SPIRIT ( MOM LOVES AND MISSES YOU DEARLY MY SON ERIC MARCH 22.1983 - SEPTEMBER 13.2002 ) THANK YOU LORD FOR YOUR BEAUTIFUL GIFTS
Amen Sister
My condolences. I lost my 2 boys young too. This song helps but digs deep. Cuts deep. Thanks for sharing your grief with us. 🙏🏼 👊🏼❤️
John 3:16 amen. Me and my boys too. 👍🏼👍🏼 Thanks for turning your grief and trauma into something good.
I am doing the same with a project in their name to help kids in Africa going through the disease that took them and other rare diseases too.
For the glory of God. "God has you in Heaven. But I have you in my heart. I have you in my heart." 🥺
We gon see the Light

My heart is with you, Tim 🙏
@@ellie..bell10 thank you 😊 🙏
I as well lost a son whom was 19 months old.. instantly..but yes this I know he is with the Lord...
God Bless you, Sir. 🙏❤️
I discovered Toby Mac recently, after losing my precious son who was just 25 years old. I do not understand, 11 months before he passed, he was shot twice in the chest with a double barrel shotgun and survived. God gave him back to me twice already, just to take him away in a car accident. He had told me that he died when he was shot, but I was not listening to his message, and was just thankful God sent him back to me. The night my daughter called to tell me he had just died in her arms the only thing I can remember is screaming Nooooo! I feel it when Toby bellows his reaction towards the end of this song because it is the same as mine. I never knew the waves of pain and waves of tears could come in so many different ways. It has been 5 months now and it has not gotten better or became any lighter. The tears just freely fall from my eyes with no warning. I was not allowed to see my son because of the extent of his injuries, so I had these terrible last thoughts of my baby as he took his last breaths in the arms of my baby girl. Toby Mac, thank you for this song and sharing it with us. It has brought a better picture in my head because now I can picture him running to the arms of our Father and him being welcomed home.
It is well with you
You will see your son in heaven, Toby and we will all be together in heaven for ever with Jesus! Praying for you Toby and family!!
Love this song my son just passed September 22 2022 I know I'll see him again miss my son so much he's with Jesus now 🙏
Cry your tears now
Unleash your pain now
Greet your fears now
For in the Kingdom
These things will be left at the door no more to try and silence you. A M E N
@toby mac 🙄 u don't actually think that anyone's gonna think that this is a real account, did you?
I lost my son in 2014 to murder. I just learned of this song today!!! I am sure I have listened to it at least 10x now. This song means so much to me. I can't thank you enough ❤
My 31 year old son (CJ) PASSED 7/22/21. I'm struggling to keep going. I listen to this daily. Miss him so much can't stand to be in my own skin. This gives me hope
Lost my husband of almost 21 years to cancer March 4, 2018, when he was just 46. My partner…best friend..father to our four children. This song resonates with me. Haven’t lost my faith but can’t help but miss him.
Toby! We lost our son 1.5 years ago! This song ministers to me and my wife and family! Zion ministered to millions!! Come see us at Ocala!! #zionsarmy
IgniteMinistriesOcala
I lost my 19 year old daughter in August to embolism. Lost my mom jan 7 and my dad on Sat. My dad cried out to God to repent a day before he died. That broke me
Oh Toby my nephew, who was a son to me, passed the exact same way your son passed almost exactly a year later. This song is so powerful to me. I hate drugs...God has them in Heaven...I hope you get this. Amen brother
The most beautiful promise I always think of daily is that there is No more Pain in Heaven. I have peace in knowing that my son is resting, and I will definitely see him again. Thank you Lord for your faithfulness 🙏🏼🥰
Just lost my son this pass July, God gave us 29 wonderful years with him and this was the song I played at his celebration of life 💔 🙏 this song speaks to my heart and soul..thanks tobymac for sharing your son through this song 🎵
I don't know how you got thru this song, I'm crying at the first verse. Be blessed and know God is in control but also may he bless and keep you close until you're home.
Both of my sisters just had a lost .One lost a husband, the other a daughter. My first thought they must hear this song. Wow,21 year says another. God bless you Toby God is good. And God this is not our home, and we see our love one again. ❤
God will get us through ANYTHING!!!
@toby mac Blessings, Love and Good will my Brother. You give Strength to all who hear you sing !!!🙏👍💯💔😢😥🥺🥺😥😢💔💯👍🙏
Tobymac, thank you so much for your encouragement to us in this very dark and difficult world. You allowed yourself to embrace your loss, as hard as it was and still is, causing so much light to shine in you and through you to all of us who need the next push forward. Our Father is so good and kind and you've reminded us of His amazing work in people's hearts even in the darkness!! Blessings to you and to the awesome Diverse City Band and to your beautiful family!!! We're praying that the Lord continues to use you and strengthen you for every good work!!! Greetings to you from the city of Bethlehem in the Holy Land.
I lost my 21 year son to suicide February 7, 2023. This album is dripping in grief and victory. It has offered so much comfort. Attending concert in Toledo in November
Thanks so much Toby for giving us this song, it's of such comfort. I have "lost" my 3 adult children to liberal woke ideas, they have turned away from God & His loving truth & become prodigals. They have cancelled, ghosted & blocked me, & have alienated my 4 grandkids from me for over 3 years- it's like they died. Please pray that my prodigals come back to their heavenly Father & their earthly one too. This Father's Day was a tough one to get thru but God is faithful & good! Praise Him!
Your children are still alive. How DARE you compare yourself to him? His child is gone. Dead and gone. Shame on you for using this platform to spread your political agenda and views. YOUR CHILDREN ARE STILL ALIVE. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU????
This is so relevant for me right now... my wife`s sister was found lifeless in her apartment this morning. ironically, nearly 3 years to the day that my wife "went home". " Tomorrow is promised to no one "... but Gods everlasting Love is promised to all who believe in Him
Truy was one of a kind he was such a great kid I was in Sunday school with him and he loved his Lord and Savior with all his heart. He will be missed. There’s not one day I think about how such a great kid he is
This song is beautiful!! I lost my beautiful boy October 24/2021 Rip Justin forever 29 ❤😢 Until i see you again, my sweet boy.. Addiction and mental health is one hell of a struggle, i do believe God took my boy and he is finally at peace.. Thank you Tobymac God bless
Wow Your message hit me hard as well as this song .I lost my only son on Oct 27 2022 my first born and I'm at a impass bit hearing this song and seeing your message gave me strength in my faith the lord knows best and he took our sons to rest easy with him .I love this song because he speaks the words my heart is feeling everyday .stay strong and god bless ..
Sorry about your son! We also lost our son at the age of 29 due his struggle with mental battles and self treatment of drugs and alcohol! He was a christian who lost a battle, but we know he won the war! This song has brought some healing. Thanks for sharing.
My son was also 29, I'm so sorry..
My firstborn son of 42yr just passed. He fought that battle for dacads. I feel he gave himself to our Lord and that he was tired and wanted to go home. I am so beside myself sometimes I can't breathe. This song reminds me that I am not alone in my grief and my son's in our Father's arms. Prays God and thank you for being with all of us who are going through the same thing. God bless you and your wife.
I don’t cry over music but man, this one got me.
Yeah the first time I heard it I was sobbing
@@BountifulHarvestAbby I was talking specifically about this video
@@DanielWalker. yeah I understand it was powerful
@@BountifulHarvestAbby ya
sad
So amazing and so heartbreaking
Well the tears care Rollin down my face. We lost our son to suicide Dec 2018. We didn't see this coming. It feels like yesterday. It still hurts and I don't think that pain will go away until I'm called home. Time doesn't heal wounds but GOD DOES. We keep pressing through. I feel your pain bro. I also feel the comfort of knowing I'll see him again. Thank you for sharing your heart Toby ✝️ God allows these things to happen so we can help those facing the same struggles. Today He used you to lift me up. Agape, Karen
I'm so sorry ❤😢💔💔💔
There will be moments when your faith falters, when you’re lonely or exhausted or just plain sad. There will be moments where grief grabs ahold of you and crumbles you to the ground, where all that you’ve believed feels empty, and when each breath feels like a chore. But in these moments, you will find redemption and power in His name. In these moments, if you choose to follow Him, He will guide you away from the heartbreak, the loneliness, the death, the loss, the toughest moments of your life, and back into His arms.
May the God blessed you always Toby.
I had never heard of this artist and I just was scrolling one day here recently and this song really brought me to my knees and heavy tears my heart just broken into a million pieces and I don't know how to go on without my son I truly don't all I do know is that I want you to know that this song really resonated with me with how I feel about my son also he knew the Lord we would pray together he would go to church he had went high even some lady one day she said don't be ashamed he is right where he needs to be his hardest on the right place but his mind doesn't and the lady that we went to church with is someone that watched him grow up she got upset with Nick and instead of being like a true Christian should be kind and compassionate and understanding addictions because they are in her family also you would think she would understand and she could have been someone that Drew someone and made it feel like a privilege that she could bring someone that was crying out for help very depressed not behind a 14 year old little girl that needed her daddy so badly but she needed him straight he battled with addiction for over 15 years and so did I with him hand in hand step by step I didn't think he would live past his 25th birthday but thank God he did March 21st of this year 2022 my son passed away it had some 34-year-old son and father and brother and uncle this is what he left behind a grieving mother and it does come in waves you try so hard to be strong and I walk and talk with the Lord all day long I have for the past 2 years I was on a church for 13 because I had my eyes on people in the church instead of where that my eyes should have been which should have been looking to the Lord and praying for those that were doing things that I knew wasn't right this young man that you see in this photo holding a little girl this is my son at 23 and his daughter probably was about 2 years old nobody seems to get it nobody the pain the grief the hurt the emptiness the struggle to go on to get through one day at a time or to put one foot in front of the other this song has blessed me so much and reminds me so much of my son I want to say thank you for making a song is beautiful as this one is that what I will always listen to cuz it makes me feel close to my son and my heavenly father you know I think that my son I recognize that he used to sing bits and pieces of this song in the car when I would be driving so he already knew this song he loved music all kinds of music Christian music rap just different kind of music he kind of liked a little bit of all of it I would like to get my condolence to the loss of your son and at the same time wish you a Merry Christmas to your family and a Happy New Year's for my family to your family this song is awesome it truly is keep on keeping on whatever you're doing with your music because it is blessing people I am so sure of it and comforting their pain of losing someone they love that was so very close to them like a child God bless you brother and like you said the band that was up there I'm sure they were all awesome backstage but this band is awesome I give you props hit thank you for being there for this man and his family God bless you and I hope that one day I see you in heaven because God is coming back soon and he is a patient God he doesn't desire for one person to perish everyone better get serious and everyone better open their eyes and see and know that our heavenly father that died on that cross that day Jesus Christ our Lord and our savior he is coming back like the Bible says get ready I am making sure that I get ready and doing everything I know in my heart to do what's right so I don't miss out because I want to see my son again

In the same year 2022, I lost two closest uncles, a grandmother, and a mother. only God kept us alive trusting.
Never heard of TobyMac. I was in a lot of pain because I had lost both parents very recently and I listen to this song and granted I am a believer in Christ. This beautiful song restored my beliefs of the Lord again. I could not believe the beautiful heart this man had to stand before the world and thank the Lord for 21 years for his son. It reminded me that initially everyone in our lives is a and restored my faith in the Lord. Praise you God for Beautiful brothers and sisters by TobyMac who can professor beautiful voice and restore our faith
Hey, Toby , Your Songs Are So Spiritual I Get A Blessing Every Time II Hear Your Songs. Thank You .God Bless You. ❤ And You Will See Your Son Again. It's Goodbye Here. And Hello In Heaven.
Singing see the light after 21 years was a real good declaration of faith and you gotta feel for toby...... U can literally see him so down and depressed after singing 21 years and his man comes and helps him oit
I noticed that too. He's surrounded by great people who support him especially when he needs it the most.
I saw that too.
Tears..
My 33yr old daughter died yesterday over drug addiction. But, God gave us three weeks in ICU with her. She made it right with God. She was a Christmas miracle. This song is so amazing, so anointed! Love you Toby Mac!
@Michelle Hall I'm so sorry for your loss! My son died 2 years ago and I have just begun mourning and healing, thank you Jesus! My mother & I were able to make a nice memorial for my son on her patio that has his ashes & his picture with some beautiful plants, which my mother has never been able to grow... we laughingly say that the reason that they haven't died is that my son is the Gardener! His watch alarm goes off every day at 2:30pm reminding us that he is still here with us in spirit! we always say Hi & I have learned to talk to him even though he's not here in body. I learned this from my little boy, Jacob, who had been kidnapped, when we reunited, he asked me, Did you used to cry for me, Mama? when I replied yes, he said "I knew you did Mama...cuz I would lay in my bed and I would hear you crying and I would say "Mama, it's okay! I'll be home soon, I'm okay-dont cry Mama!”😿💖👼 out of the mouths of babes👶 he taught me that even though he was over 600 miles away that we were still connected in spirit🌌! I'm going to share a poem, a couple of poems actually (it's a link cuz I don't know how to add a picture to the Comments) the 1st poem is when I lost my long prayed for twins🧒🧒👣👣👨❤️👨 that lived only 4 hours & died in our hands🤲; it was truly devastating 💦 & because my husband & I grieved differently, we separated 4 months after the twins death, so this poem carried me not only through losing them but also through my divorce. since then it has comforted me in many other ways. The 2nd poem is what God gave me & I read at my son's memorial just 2 years ago💌. Michael Shay died 11 days before his 33rd birthday, which was also very unexpected & devestating💔💦😿. I hope they 💞 comfort you as well. I pray that as you heal, you can turn your pain into a passion somehow🌈... there are many, many still suffering with addiction🩺🩹💊, & I don't know if that's the direction you might go but somehow allow God to use your pain for good in honor of your daughter🕯️🎉. I've tried to continue my son's legacy🎊 by just commenting and sharing with others OUR story & it is truly healing my broken heart!!🩹💔 💦🌈🌹 And my grandmother put it in her book "Roses, Raindrops And Rainbows"; these are the RAINDROP💦 days,
the RAINBOW🌈 is God's Hope that something Good can & will result from this suffering & the ROSES are the FINAL results of the raindrops...
And the word says dearly beloved, for I reckon that the sufferings of this present time shall not be worthy to be compared to the GLORY that shall be REVEALED WITHIN US...
Remember the way she left here has NOTHING TO DO with WHO SHE WAS & what she meant to you & what she brought to this world💝🌍! Thank you for sharing your pain, from one grieving Mama to another💞... I send my compassion 💝& prayers🛐!
Everything God does is for our good. We got this. We gonna see the light. 😊
Amen
We lost our son also (August 29, 2021) 11 days after his daughters first birthday, 18 days after my 52nd birthday. I pray for you and your family in your time of loss. We lost Jason in a stupid motorcycle accident. 2 blocks away from his house. Senseless. I cussed God, Why didn't you take me! Instead! God must have needed Jason in His Army in Heaven more. This i believe. We ALL will be with him again ❤😊
Still one of the best performers out there!
Agreed!
This is the song I’ve been looking for my only son got killed in a car wreck. He was 22. He was the best son you could ever have, and he got saved 6 weeks before i’ve been trying to find a song for him and this is it. Love you man.
the most beautiful song I've ever heard in my life !!! I'm 48 and cried like a baby through this entire video
God bless everyone and love you all
I used to own a cat named Kala and song just made me cry. But every time I feel a little bit stronger. Thank the Lord and everything he has done in your life and in mine.
I lost my dad unexpectedly and this song has given me great comfort. My daddy was 91 years old and I wanted another 91 years. God was so merciful and took daddy quickly and without suffering. I know I will see him again and my mother was there at Heaven’s gate waiting for him ❤️
God will do better than another 91 years. You will be together for eternity. 🧡💙❤️ Families are forever!!
Thank you for writing this song. I am so sorry for your grief 💔🥲My 21-year-old firstborn son Cameron left us early for Heaven one year ago on 8/11/23
You are so brave to sing this song. Wow, so beautiful. You’ve been through more agony then some will know. This is so vulnerable.
I think a lot of people have been through this really, you start understand that when it happens to you. You never expect someone you care about to be there one day and gone the next but it happens all the time sadly.
Your testimony of loss is so encouraging and powerful, may you be blessed by sharing your heart. Yeshua shines all over you and your music 🕊❤️
It's always the people who get hurt that help so many who are hurt. It's so evident that Toby's life wasn't easy. The song the elements came out before truest left and it already seemed hard enough for Toby. Toby has helped so many through his hard time.
I lost my 25 year-old friend the same way as Toby’s son, to an overdose. This song helped me overcome the loss so much. I pray for anyone struggling with an addiction, it’s never easy but I promise it’s much better than leaving your loved ones behind. Even in the midst of the storms the Lord is there for us. It’s hard to understand but I know he is 🙏🏼✝️
Loss can hit you in many ways be it your child, sibling, parents, friends. I have experienced all of the above. This song brought me to tears. It’s so brutally honest yet so optimistic. When I lost my son I though I’d never stop crying. But I did and eventually I came back to God and let go of the anger I carried. While a piece of my heart is gone, I know it will be whole again. I am ok when it comes my time My momma is taking care of her grandson until I get there.🙏🏼😔
Tears, every single time.
I can never hold it together listening to 21 years. I cry the whole time. Love you Toby! Been listening to you since DC Talk days
This song is a piece of heaven for people who have buried their loved ones. Thank you for this precious artistry
That song came from the bellies of Toby especially from 6:44 to 7:03. Such a beautiful song and great faith! Love to you and your family!
Beautiful Song--- I lost one on my best friend's & after 5 months, she appeared to me first thing in the morning & said "Don't Speak Just Listen, Don't Weep For Me, Because The Problems We Have Are All Here" So we we leave this earth-- The Lord Will Be Waiting For Us & All Our Problems Will. All Be Over. Thank you Jesus for Loving Us Enough To Give Your Life So That We May Also Live Again. ✝️🙏❣️
I LOVE how they ended this heartbreaking song.. "we gonna see the Light"..... when everything looks dark, there is ONE thing to be assured by.. The Light will help u look UP and to hang on ..
Beautifully said young lady. I couldn't have said it better myself
I'm not a Christian, I don't even believe in a god. But, 21 years has helped me cope with a death in the family. I love it.
I just wanna see Toby and hug him sooooo much he has been my favorite Christian singer and he brought me closer to him ☺️ people may wonder why he is sooo Godly and his son died well this song describes it. And Toby if you see this I may not see you in this life but I will see you in heaven and you son as well, and your son is gonna say “thank you dad welcome home ☺️”
Hayley...
That is sooo faithful... what a promise... Amen.
God is GOOD ,even when things are against you 1thousand fold. Keep TRUSTING God.
I can't wait to see ALL my Family in Christ ,bcz right now I DONT really have much or anyone... I continue to look ahead to that ONLY HOPE "Jesus".
Blessings 🕊.
@@galatians2_20 I am so happy to here this :), and I’m so glad that you are a believer, I will never let God go, you don’t either :), things will get better, just keep in God’s faith and keep trusting in him and just keep your life focused on him and God will help you get through things cause he does the impossible:), God bless you my friend, stay strong
Tobymac has such powerful music especially 21 years and a lot of my friends really don't like him and tell me I have bad taste but it doesn't bother me because I know Toby is doing it for the kingdom thanks Toby for all the wonderful music keep up the amazing work
Are your friends serious??? Trust me, THEY have really bad taste!
@@afriyieo.dankwa they mainly listen to apostolic music and I'm Penacostal but I feel like I can really express my worship through music like Tobymac
Beauty of music like this; you can enjoy this yourselves, it doesn't matter if others don't like it because maybe this song hits deep where you can relate to it. No matter where they run or hide, God is always with you with open arms.
@@raremessagefound7138 Amen may God bless you with those words of wisdom brother
@Belinda Sparks actually their my closest friends
Just lost my son on 12/31/2021 and this song speaks to me on so many levels. Even though the pain is unbearable I know that I will see him again when it's my time to go. Thank you Jesus for that assurance.
My 15 year old daughter was killed in2004, and I struggle so much with it. This song really hits hard
Wow, God gave His Firstborn so you can see your firstborn again... amazing and you're so strong for sharing this song with us Toby. I don't think I could ever sing about a loved one of mine.
❤❤❤Dad died two months ago Dementia and cancer.God's Soldier.21gunsalute Pappa.
I LOVE this song!!! I’m so sorry for the loss of your son
Mary, I like this nice pop/hip-hop song also and about how he misses his son who is home with our Heavenly Father.
I lost my son to suicide and this song has ministered to me. That’s not the beginning of all the traumatic losses, but the most recent was my identical twin sister and I am still here for a reason.
I couldn’t imagine getting up there and singing through the pain. I was crying for him. What a powerful and beautiful tribute to his son. ❤️
Lost my firstborn son about 10 months ago at the young age of 19 and this song was recommended to me by another grieving dad who lost his son too. So thankful for this song even though I break down everyone I hear it. T
So sorry for your loss, I can’t begin to know the pain you all are feeling but I truly empathize with you, may God bless you.
I also lost my first born son in 2013. I don’t know why God allows bad things to happen. When I feel abandoned by God and even angry at Him, I remind myself that God also knows what it’s like to lose a son. If He was ever going to turn His back on me it would have been on the cross. But He died. Jesus didn’t fail me. He made a way for me to be with my son again. One day I will go to him. See you soon my son. Praise Jesus for Your brutal death. Forgive me of my sin.
@@mycabbages3538 Amen may God’s comforter be with you at all times sorry for the loss of your son.
I lost my 2 at 16 (2012) - Austin and 22 (2017) - Everett.
Toby, I've been listening for you for about 9 years now. I'm almost 14, which means I've been watching since I was 4-5. One of my favorite songs was Hypeman. I always listened to it with my dad, and I enjoyed every moment. I hope you're doing well.
Edit: every time I listen to this song, I almost cry, and I'm not one to cry easily.
My heart breaks for Toby and Amanda so much. But I know they will see their son again. Just like I will see my parents and grandparents again. Thank you for singing this song. It means so much to me. I love you both.💜🩵
I lost my firstborn September 2021.. I dont know how you are able to sing this song without your heart breaking, but ai thank God for it. This song breaks my heart and gives me peace at the same time. GOD bless you!!
This guy is so humble and loving in every aspect of his life. Bless you and I will personally pray for your continued success and family
I love this man´s heart for God. Awesome, just AWESOME!
How can one be this hope without divine Intervention?! This is gospel. Praised be your name Jesus.
this song was recommended to me as I lost my son 3 months ago at aged 24, it resonates so much with me
♥️♥️🙏🙏this song comes deeply to my heart and comforts my soul afirming that my son is in heaven. We lost our wild child 25 years ol only 4.5 months ago. Grieve is letting us almost killed still we continue here until we see the light which brings peace and no pain anymore♥️♥️
Beautiful, I too lost my son at the age of 36, and yes we will see them again, they are just over the hill waiting for us, and all of this will no longer exist, we will no longer remember the bad that happened, God Bless you and all listeners and grieving parents...
💔🙏
I'm getting baptized next month on July the 16th and a couple of Sundays I chose to give my life to God and a have a very wonderful church family and a wonderful real family and my Mom and my pastor's son's and a lot of my Christian Friends are all a true blessing to me to be honest I may not be rich with lots of money but I'm rich with love and joy and no one can take that away from me
Powerful song! Thank for still sharing how to go to heaven. You never know who might be there or hear this performance who needs to know how to be saved.
Wow… This was great! I know of a mom who lost son only a few weeks ago, she is so devastated. I don’t know her personally, I’m not sure that she is saved. Please pray for her, she needs what only God can give. I hope she can see this.
Amen
Wrap your arms around her Jesus. Make Yourself real to her. Your will be done. Amen 🙏
Jesus Christ shed his blood & died for our sins according to the scriptures...he was buried & rose again the third day...trust him & what he did for you & you will be SAVED…(1 Corinthians 15:1-4, Ephesians 2:8-9, Ephesians 1:12-13, Romans 4:24-25, Romans 4:5 & 1 Timothy 2:3-6).
i lost a child when i was married to my first wife..where she had to abort the child at about 4 months in pregnancy....i never got to hold him but i know the child is in heaven waiting to see me
So thankful for this song as I grieve the loss of my young son.
Again it was so sad that their older son passed away 4 years ago. 🙏🙏🙏
