toby mac - a city on our knees

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

Tonight?s the night
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide in a beautiful display
It?s all love tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

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

Tonight?s the night
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide in a beautiful display
It?s all love tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh-oh-oh

Tonight couldn?t last forever
We are one choice from together
Tonight couldn?t last forever
Ooh
Tonight couldn?t last forever
We are one choice from together
As family
We?re family
Oh Tonight couldn?t last forever
We are one choice from together
You and me
Ya, you and me
Tonight?s the night
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide
In a glorious display
Cuz its all love tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh oh oh
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh oh oh
If we gotta start somewhere why not here
If we gotta start sometime why not now

toby mac - do you know

Do you know where you?re going to
Do you like the things that life is showing you
Where are you going to
Do you know

This goes out to my man his name is True Blue
For all the nights that your Daddy spent away from you
For all the days that I told you ?Maybe next time?
Laid up in the studio consumed with my next rhyme
What kind of lyric can I drop to make you think twice
About the trials that you?re gonna face in this life
I can lullaby even point you to the Most High
Prayin? every little thing is gonna be all right
Someday my love isn?t gonna be fulfilling
Try as I may, human love it hits a ceiling
But I can sow the seeds, say a prayer, this I know
If faith can move a mountain
Surely God can make His spirit grow in you

CHORUS

This goes out to my little man t Mac
For all the junk you?ve been carrying on your back
My burden?s easy and My yoke is a featherweight
And this you know yet you?re still a man of little faith
What can I do to spring your knowledge into how you roll
Don?t you have the Spirit and the letters that My people wrote
My love stretches farther than your mind can conceive
I?ve got a hand full of grace, a heart full of mercy
Someday My son, your gonna find My love fulfilling
Hope as I may, you?ve got to turn in when you?re willing
I?ll take you as you are and just to add a human touch
I gave to you a son so you can understand the Father?s love for you

CHORUS

God will light your path if you want Him to
Just emphasize His lead and your dreams will come true
From the Father to the Son to the multitudes
He?s the lover of you soul, spiritual, baby do you know

CHORUS

toby mac - afterword

Just emphasize His lead
The lover of your soul
Do you like the things that life is showin you

Do ya know
(Just emphasize His lead)
Where you're going to
(The lover of your soul)
Do you like the things
(I want to, I want to)
That life is showin you
(That your life is showin you)
Do ya know
(Just emphasize His lead)
Where you're going to
(The lover of your soul)
Do you like the things
(I want to, I want to)
That life is showin you
Do ya know

Just emphasize His lead
I want to, I want to
The lover of your soul
Do you like the things that life is showing you
I want to, I want to...

Just emphasize His lead

toby mac - all in

Why?s it always circumstantial?
Never any real potential
Obvious and so sequential
It always ends the same
Holding out with all that?s in me
Is it worth all this pretending?
A story with an ugly ending it?s never worth the pain

So right here and now I am all in

?Cause I?m letting go of everything I am
And I?m holding on to everything You are
I?m letting go of everything I once was
I?m all in
I?m fallin? into Your arms again

Can we just wait out the weather?
I could stay right here forever
Got to get myself together
Real life is on the way
Call it my foregone conclusion
I?ll always welcome Your intrusion
You?re the master of my choosing
I?m all Yours

This time I?m so for real
It?s time I sealed the deal
Shut down my lame appeals
I?m letting go
I?m letting go
I?ll throw caution to the sky
Kiss all my fears goodbye
This time its do or die
I?m letting go ?

toby mac - all in mr talkbox interlude

toby mac - atmosphere

I know you keep a journal and every page is rippled
From the tears that you cry,
Ain?t no meanin? to your scribble
Cause words can?t describe what you?ve been feelin? inside
It?s like thousand foot walls,
And they?re still on the rise
But look up to a beautiful sound
And see for yourself you?re not that far down
And know this, I cannot love a little
My promise to you is unconditional

And I?ll keep the light on, baby
Just keep the course, you can weather the storm
I?ll keep the light on, baby
You?ve come this far, don?t you ever lose heart, now

Just turn around and I?ll be there
I?m moving into your atmosphere
Just turn around and I?ll be there
I?m moving into your atmosphere

I know you?re all alone in a crowd full of friends
I can see it in your eyes that your fadin? again
Checking out, moving into your hole
Where the light can?t touch any part of your soul
But hold up and let the river rush in
You can turn around and start livin? again
Cause your life is a beautiful bloom
In the image of the one that created you

I?ll be there

Said I?ll be there, said I?ll be there
Said I?ll be there always, forever

toby mac - boomin

I've been around the way
I've been around the block
I got the keys to the city if the gates are locked
And a freak like me ain't ?bout to stop
I got a hand full of dreams and a heart full of God

Everywhere we go they wonder where we're from
Well its diverse city ya'll welcome to come
It sits high on a hill you can see it for days
And even if you can't you can hear our praise
We go ...

'Cause we're boomin' out the stereo system
This goes out to anyone listening
Boomin' out the stereo system
Here to rep the most high with this one
Boomin' out the stereo system
This goes out to anyone listening
Boomin' out the stereo system
'Cause we rock for sure in stereo

If you're looking to slide, come slide with us
And if you're looking for a ride, it's a big old bus
We got black folk, white folk and Middle East
Mexican, Filipino - Jesus Freaks
Got a Haitian Princess, an Aussie Mate
East Coast, Midwest to left side of the states
And when the bus rolls, it?s out the dirty south
Tennessee and we keepin' it good and loud we go

I got portable sounds to lift me up
Portable sounds to take me higher
Portable sounds to lift me up
So don't even try to get in my head

toby mac - break open the sky

From the lips of desperation
Different nations, every man?s cry
Comes a song of anticipation
As we wait for a crack in the sky
Side by side, we recognize that
Hope has brought us together tonight
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Break open the sky
Won?t You turn off gravity so we can fly?
We wanna see Your face
So tear the roof off this place
Jesus, break open the sky

So we sing
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

We believe, and we imagine
?Til the dawn of our beautiful dream
Through the noise, I hear the voices
Melodies that are flooding our streets
Not forgotten, are your people
So let a thousand church bells ring
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Come, Jesus, come
Come quickly
Come quickly

Break open, open the sky

toby mac - burn for you

I?m a brand new man, I?m a conscious man
I?m a man who?s burnin? for you
The mistakes I?ve made have been
Chased away to the bottom of the ocean blue
I?m a brand new man in a foreign land,
I?m a man who?s feelin? that fire
And it?s all so clear when
I?m standing here at the peak of my desire

So won?t you move me like you used to
I want the world to know I burn for you

I feel revived again, I am alive again
(Burnin? for you)
You got me lifted and lifted you lift me up
I feel revived again, I?m energized again
(Burnin? for you)
You got me lifted and lifted you lift me up

Woke up in a sweat, those ghosts in my head
Had a grip, but I slipped on by
It?s a whole new day as the darkness fades
And the sun?s climbing in the sky
I concede, my love, that I need your love
I?m before you, a broken man
And it?s only you,
No substitutes who can renew this soul again

You got me higher than Kilimanjaro
Got me believin? I can ?save the day?
I?m up and running like their ain?t no tomorrow
I?d rather burn for you than fade away
I?d rather burn for you than go my way

I?m a whole new guy with a whole new vibe
Changed inside ? more flame in the fire
Can?t stop, won?t stop praying for desire
Like the bunny on the screen feel so energized
Old shell gone without a trace, new face
No more shortness of breath, new pace
Live life now without the taste of fear
TOBYMAC, Double Dutch now let the smoke clear

toby mac - captured

All I wanna do
All I wanna do

I?m Your prisoner by choice
I will rest at Your feet
And I?ll only lift my voice
When You want me to sing
It?s the beauty of Your covering that?s stealing my heart
And it?s the mystery of You that tears me apart

If I should die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take
And if I should get a peaceful sleep
I wanna wake at my Father?s feet

All I wanna do is get into You
You got me captured
By Your love
All I wanna do is stay here with You
You got me raptured
Can?t get enough

Let?s go
The sun?s on the rise
The sleep?s in my eyes
The dew?s on the ground
The night is disguised
There?s hope in the air
I?m fresh off a prayer
The blue mountain bean is clearin? my stare
I make recompense
It?s all makin? sense
Like blood in my veins
You?re my sustenance
A moment of trust
The ?me? becomes ?us?
The ?we? become ?one?
Your gift is my gust of wind
?Til we meet again

So faith, don?t fail me now
If you touch my heart
You can feel it pound
So faith, don?t fail me now

So faith, don?t fail me now
If you touch my heart
You can feel it poundin?
So faith, don?t fail me now

So faith, don?t fail me now
When I touch my heart
I can feel it pound
Gotta get myself up off this ground
Faith, don?t fail me now

You got me, and You won?t let go

toby mac - catchafire

Slackin? off like a bum, I?m feelin? ho hum
I?m feelin? luke warm like the water in my tub
Started out and we was hot, looked up and now we?re not
We had that fire like we was boilin? in a pot

Whoopsi-daisy, whoopsi-daisy, whoopsi-daisy
Come, we gonna catch that

Fire, I?m feenin? for a flicker
Then we?ll fan the flame up into something bigger
Started out and we was hot, looked up and now we?re not
We gonna catch a fire, catch a fire for God

Whoopsi-daisy, whoopsi-daisy, whoopsi-daisy
Come, we gonna catch that
Whoopsi-daisy, call me crazy, whoopsi-daisy
Come, we gonna catch that

Fire, takin? it from warm to hot
Fire, gotta give it all we got
Fire, whoopsi-daisy, call me crazy, whoopsi-daisy
Come, we gonna catch that

Spark to a flame, I?m flippin? up my game
I caught the fire and I?ll never be the same
So unexplainable I can?t contain it, son
And my retaining it would only be a shame
So let me hear you say

Heat, like the Kingston concrete
There ain?t no stoppin? the fire
We?re straight breakin? ground
There ain?t no cooling this thing down
We burnin? up and keep?n it krunk as we know how
Hear me now people

Catch a fire let it burn within
Catch a fire let it burn for him

toby mac - changed forever

I?d heard Your name, but never seen Your face
Been touched before but never Your embrace
Had a soul to lose and the world to gain
But then You whispered my name

And I heard the truth but never from Your lips
Bought the lies of many counterfeits
Dreamed my dreams, but they were never in color
And I searched for You and many others

I was down for the count

Then I saw Your face
Just a glimpse of Your face, and my whole world changed
Then I saw Your face, and I was changed forever
Changed forever now
Then I saw Your face
One glimpse of Your face, it?s a whole new game
Then I saw Your face, and I was changed forever
Yours forever now

If I could reach the stars, I could touch the sky
And if I spread my wings, I could almost fly
I had everything paper could buy
I was lost in my disguise

And if I played my role, they would feel my style
If I bought the night they would buy my smile
I?ve been runnin? this game for a million miles
Believin? my own lies

I was down, I was out

I was blinded by my selfish dreams
Everything ain?t what it seems
From inside to out, there ain?t no doubt
I been changed

NOTHING SHORT OF satisfaction
Your love caused a change reaction
I can tell you this much I FELT your touch
And I?m changed

When I was down for the count, YOUR love surrounded me
Blink of an eye
I saw my destiny

Change, rearranged ?cause I couldn?t maintain
The heart it took to even stay in the game
One look in Your eyes even I realized
A fellow like me had been put down to size
To be built up in a better way, Your way
Yahweh ain?t about to fade
Bombastic, ain?t no way to mask it
I saw Your face, and my old way?s blasted

I?m Yours forever now

toby mac - christmas this year

As fall rides off in the Sunset
I sweep the Snow from my doorstep
I just can't help but Stop and Grin
It's like I'm Ten Years old again

And Everywhere I go I can feel it
Some say it moves like a Spirit
It falls on us once a Year
Like it came on a Midnight clear
It's all Love

The Season is a Gift
When Love came down to let us Live
Let's open up and let our Hearts embrace this Moment
For Christmas This Year
Gonna make a Sound
Gonna make it Loud
For Christmas This Year

We're gonna make some Noise
Let the World rejoice
For Christmas This Year
For Christmas
For Christmas This Year
The Laughter starts before the Sunrise

I sneak downstairs at the Sparklin' Lights
And, oh, what Joy it brings to me
Our Family around our Christmas Tree
And I thank the Lord for His favor
As we sing the songs of the Savior
Our Savior

It's all Love
The Season is a Gift
When Love came down to let us Live
Let's open up and let our Hearts embrace this Moment
For Christmas This Year

Gonna make a Sound
Gonna make it Loud
For Christmas This Year
We're gonna make some Noise

Let the World rejoice
For Christmas This Year
For Christmas
For Christmas This Year

God is coming Near
Unto us a Savior born
On a Midnight clear

Unto us a Savior born
On a Midnight Clear

toby mac - diverse city

They call us Diverse City, we?re colorful good
It?s like a freak show in your neighborhood
So, if you wanna praise you can come on down
Cause this freak show?s leaving the ground

Up, up and away, baby we don?t play,
Maybe you thought you was done for the day
He said, she said, I said this,
That you can?t get away from your moment of bliss
Stirring, we?ll lure you in and
We?ll make room for the shade of skin
Short ones, tall ones, skinny ones,
Bigger, love is the gun and we pullin? that trigger

In the form of a new tattoo
Mine is the shiny city on a hill and yours,
Of course, is the colors that fill it
We?ll take you high, we?ll take you higher

Now come to the city where you can praise
If you?re black, if you?re white, if you?re yellow or grey
In the morning, in the night, anytime of day

With curls in your hair and braids on the side
Straight shake?em loose, just come on and ride
We?re a body with parts, like you and me
Together we make diversity

Welcome to Diverse City, we?re colorful good
It?s like a freak show in your neighborhood
So, if you wanna praise you can come on down
Cause this freak show?s leaving the ground

Said we?re Diverse City, we?re colorful goods

We gonna shine the way that we should, baby
So, if you wanna praise you can come on down
Cause this freak show?s leaving the ground

You bring the heart, I?ll bring the soul
I?ll bring the flag, you bring the pole
We?ll fly it high so the whole world knows
The dream of a king ?bout to unfold

We ?bout to do this thing for real
Diverse City got mass appeal
So put your hand in the hand of mine
And we?ll spread this love like dandelions

toby mac - don t bring me down

Do you remember
The southern breakfast treat
Referred to as grits
But it looks like cream of wheat
(chorus)
Don't bring me down
Please, please
Don't bring me down
(repeat chorus)
(Check this)
Yo, I know a secret
Too hard not to tell
(Don't bring me down)
If grits was locked up
Gotee would post bail
(repeat chorus x2)
Are you familiar
With the southern breakfast treat
(Don't bring me down)
Referred to as breads
But to me it looks like
Spooky cream of wheat
(repeat chorus x3)
