I was excited to find out that TobyMac had a new album out. It’s a full-length album called Heaven On My Mind. The first song on the album is the title track. It starts out with a style that’s reminiscent of TobyMac’s other music. His music is upbeat, fun, and light, but with strong messages. The first song has lyrics with, “I got heaven on my mind, I’ve got people waiting by.” I couldn’t agree more! I’ve got heaven on my mind, too, so the lyrics are super catchy! I find myself singing along to this song in the car, since I got a cool, real-life CD.
The second song that struck me was, “God Did It” with the lyrics, “There’s no way around, some things that can’t be explained away.” It reminds me of the miracles that God has done in people’s lives. God did it. Not the world, not us, but God did it. It’s encouraging as we all know that God is a miracle worker. We continue to hope and pray for Him to work in our lives, and also in the world. He truly is a God of creating miracles and inspiring faith in us.
In the sixth track, there’s, “Resist (Keep The Devil Away.” I’ve found myself belting out the lyrics in the car with, “Give me the feet to walk on water, keep me from the deep.” When life gets tough, and you’re going through temptation, this is a great song to sing! I love it so much, and it’s on constant repeat in my car. Definitely one awesome song!
And then there’s “Can’t Stop Me.” This track alone has become one of my favorite songs of anything. I’ve listened to it constantly. I’ve even watched the music video many times – which you’ve got to see! The song itself took a darker, but amazing turn in his album as the eighth song. Some of the lyrics are, “The devils I’ve been seein’, the lies that they’ve been preachin’, can’t stop me from believin’.” I can’t say enough how amazing this song is. So, even if you don’t get the whole album, get this song. You won’t regret it!
The rest of the songs are all good, but these four stood out the most. And I don’t really know where to rate this album with his others, because I feel like they all deserve a certain place. It’s definitely a good project, and one that I would recommend. Especially, of course, if you like TobyMac, then this would be a nice addition to your collection. Check it out!
