    I love how he begins the song with the question of why he took his son away but then ends with him saying thank you to God for all the blessings he gained while his son was alive. It's like when Job said, God gave, and the Lord taketh away, blessed is the name of the Lord(Job 1:21).

    This lament and prayer by Tobymac is his way to talk about his feelings about his son's death. As someone who is Tobymac's age, and I also lost a son, I can tell you he did it quite eloquently in his own way. Although this song comes out of a tragedy, isn't it amazing how God can take a tragedy and turn it into something beautiful. How did He make it beautiful? Just listen to your reaction. Look at how it made you feel about your family and friends. We need to appreciate them while they are here with us, tell them we love and care for them, and not wait until they are gone. Beauty out of ashes...God can take what is meant for evil, and turn it into something good. Praise God for His love and mercy.

    The music is his emotions. It HAD to be like that. You can hear his pain in the "beat". It's not production heavy, it's his heart spilling out all over the screen, all in the lyrics and music. It feels raw and real to me. This is the reaction of a 54 year old grandmother that has been a fan of TobyMac since his DC Talk days in the late 80's.

    I have a few thoughts that are not directed at anyone in particular, but just to speak to the subject. In my humble opinion, I don't see how it's possible to critique a song of an artist who is expressing his intense grief... his feelings in his own style. It's so personal. I think it's beautiful and he has to be incredibly strong to sing or even talk about this right after it happened.
    As a Mom his age with a son Tru's age, it would be devastating to lose a child. You never heal from something like that... you learn to live with the relentless grief.
    I saw him sing this song the first weekend back on the road after Tru's death, and you could tell his feelings were still very raw. The arena was flooded with emotion because of everyone's concern and grief for Toby and his family - it was heavy and palatable. I can't listen to this song without crying.
    By the way, the 21 Years video was recorded with only an iPhone and a flashlight in an open field standing near a very tall tree in the middle of thunder and lightning, and only 2 people with him.

    I’ll be 39 in couple months, & have one baby boy who is 21 months old. I was crying when the beat started, but I knew the story & been following Toby since his DC Talk days in early 90’s. I’ve seen him one time with my lil sister in 2014, just a month or 2 fresh outta rehab due to my opiate addiction fed on by my back problems. Been off of em since July 11th 2014, so I can feel his pain as a father, but also feel the pain of this song from the drug addiction side. God Bless Tru, God Bless Toby & his family. 💔

      @Ph.D.. 4 года назад +2

      Addiction is a disease like any other disease. God doesn't take your saving grace away b/c you get sick. He was battling a disease & Truett loved God deeply. If you knew him & were close friends or family w/him you'd never question it. God doesn't strip your grace away if you are sick. Like any other child he was finding his way in life & God doesn't cut His children off just b/c they stumble or fall or battle disease. Truett was still in Jesus, just like when you tell a lie, lust after a woman/man walking by or on tv, bear false witness or gossip against someone, don't speak w/fruit of the spirit, take something not yours or have unChrist like thoughts, you're still a Christian & don't get your grace taken away everytime you stumble. If that was the case, none of would make it to Heaven ever. We are saved by grace, not by works but by faith in Him.

    I liked your video.. You're right about praising the Lord when good & bad things happen. It is very hard to deal with all the things that happen (especially loss of loves ones) & thats why there are so many blaming & being angry with the Lord. We just have to be happy that those we love & ourselves are around this day & be happy, find joy & always give praise to the Lord.. I absolutely love Toby's song, 1st time I heard it on the radio I was almost in tears.. I think hearing it instead of watching video makes it a bit different because of the scenes? I think the music is great & goes perfect.. The Lord is definitely with those who do projects like that & their faith is strong!
    Btw... Toby Mac is around 56.. That just makes people "older" NOT "old" giving look LOL Keep up the great videos & Blessings! :)

He is also a very inspiring artist. I would consider him my favorite artist alongside TobyMac and Jeremy Camp.

      I personally disagree. I think that in recent days, tobyMac has established himself as a pop artist. However, many genres of music, namely pop but also some country and rock, have been implementing hip-hop elements. But yes I would consider this to be somewhat of a hip hop song.

    I was addicted to Drugs and alcohol I grew up in a Christian family and attended a Christian school . I knew Jesus in my younger days then turned my back and got lost. If I had overdosed in those days I personally don't think I would of entered into Heaven . So my fear is Christian's addicted to Drugs could say to them selves by listening to the song 21 If I overdose no problem Iam still going to Heaven. I thank God for my 2nd chance to be truly saved . Only God knows where Toby son is but I think the song could be harmful . I love toby and have been to several of His concerts and I we see him this Aug . I have been praying and have listened to the song 21 several times a week . But in the last few days this thought has been heavy on my Hart.

    John 7:37-39
    On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’” Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
    Proverbs 1:23
    If you turn at my reproof, behold, I will pour out my spirit to you; I will make my words known to you.
    Revelation 21:6
    And he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment.

    “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and pleas for mercy, so that, when they look on me, on him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn.

    Acts 10:45
    And the believers from among the circumcised who had come with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out even on the Gentiles.

    He turns a desert into pools of water, a parched land into springs of water.
    Isaiah 43:19-20

    Joel 3:18

    Psalm 78:15-16
    He split rocks in the wilderness and gave them drink abundantly as from the deep. He made streams come out of the rock and caused waters to flow down like rivers.

    they shall not hunger or thirst, neither scorching wind nor sun shall strike them, for he who has pity on them will lead them, and by springs of water will guide them.
    Psalm 63:1
    A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
    Isaiah 32:2
    Each will be like a hiding place from the wind, a shelter from the storm, like streams of water in a dry place, like the shade of a great rock in a weary land.
    Matthew 12:43
    “When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, but finds none.
    The Spirit is willing but the flesh is weak..
    Abortion were cause by system of Anti-GOD and How Spirit of Enemy of GOD hated GOD created people and causing other man to suffer
    By disobeying GOD Commandments!
    The Test to each MAN was Great from Old and New Testament are all the same and keep on repeating.
    As How GOD warned Cain that his Anger and Jealousy about Abel and Sin is at the door and unto theee shall be his (Adversary) desire
    Gen 4:7
    As JESUS warned also Peter that SATAN desire Peter and will sift him like wheat.
    Temptation to Man was Great Fight it with GOD
    Be Ministered by His Angels
    The offers to Greatness and worldly desire was Shown to each by the Adversary, it offers the whole world to destruction just to Worship and bow to him..
    Jesus already thought US how
    Let Him Help you to say
    GET behind ME Satan
    In Jesus Name!
    Declare It!!
    That is the Roar
    Jesus wanted Us to Say!
    Crushed him
    The Only way to choose
    Door of Sin(Death)
    Door of Good(LIFE)
    But Jesus is our strength and His Name and holy blood as our atonement and forgivemess of our sins
    How Religion divides Mankind That only wisdom of the Lord can provide to each of us to stay in his path of Righteousness
    Not wantinf us leaving Bwhind in the willerness because we have sinned.. Jesus is the way, truth ans Life.. The only way We could reach his Narrow door/ Gate is ro trust Him to lead the way and believe that It is Finished on that cursed cross He gave His LIFE for US as payment for all the weakness in doing sins and shame cause by sin that lead us to be unworthy, but Jesus took it all to make us Whole , healed and saved
    Freeing us from bondage from slave,
    The lies and deception of the Enemy that keep on twisting Truth and making right as wrong and wrong as right.. Making Evil good and Good Evil..
    GOD is not god of sin and he never sinned He is HOLY..
    Jesus as US and He wanted Us all back to HIM in his Holinness And To his Bossom as His OWN back to EDEN again.
    We should pray that GOD will fight for us from the Unseen Realm that keep on stealing Man souls.. He is the only ONE who can do that without our Faith it is impossible to please HIM.. May GOD Let his Holy Spirit Poured upon you all and Cast the evil away and let His Holy Fire find his ways every Hard Hearts that hated children and trying to replace Truth with lies.. Great lies..
    GOD Bless.
