Toby Mac & Lecrae: A Good Way to Testify

For several months, GRaBS (a community of youth Christians where I spend plenty of my time there growing up spiritually) has been playing videos of a Christian hip-hop artist/song writer/music producer/recording artist; Toby McKeehan (born Kevin Michael McKeehan; October 22, 1964) or better known as Toby Mac. Today, I met a friend who told me how one of Toby Mac's song inspiring him. The title of the song he mentioned is "FORGIVENESS". In this song, Toby Mac featuring Lecrae (a gospel rapper) present great messages to the whole world. Here we are, the lyrics:

FORGIVENESS

TOBY MAC FEAT LECRAE

'Cause we all make mistakes sometimes 

And we all step across that line  

But nothing's sweeter than the day we find, we find  

Its hanging over him like the clouds of Seattle 

And rainin' on his swag fallin' deeper in his saddle 

Its written on his face 

He don't have to speak a sound  

Somebody call the five-o for we gotta man down 

You can go and play it like you're all rock and roll 

But guilt does a job on each and every man's soul  

And when your head hits the pillow at the nightfall 

You can bet your life that its gonna be a fight ya'll 

'Cause we all make mistakes sometimes  

And we've all stepped across that line 

But nothing's sweeter than the day we find 

Forgiveness, forgiveness 

And we all stumble and we fall  

Bridges burn in the heat of it all 

But nothing's sweeter than the day, sweeter than the day we call out for forgiveness  

Forgiveness, we all need, we all need, we all need forgiveness 

Forgiveness, we all need, we all need  

Mr. Lecrae 

My momma told me what I would be in for 

If I kept all this anger inside of me pent up 

My heart been broken, my wounds been open  

And I don't know if I can hear I'm sorry being spoken 

But those forgiven much , should be quicker to give it 

And God forgave me for it all Jesus bled forgiveness 

So when the stones fly and they aimed at you  

Just say forgive they father they know not that they do 

Now you can go and play it like you're all rock and roll 

But guilt does a job on each and every man's soul  

And when your heat hits the pillow at the nightfall

You can bet your life that its gonna be a fight ya'll 

'Cause we all make mistakes sometimes 

And we've all stepped across that line  

But nothing's sweeter than the day we find 

Forgiveness, forgiveness  

And we all stumble and we fall  

Bridges burn in the heat of it all 

But nothing's sweeter than the day, sweeter than the day we call out for forgiveness  

No matter how LOST you are, you're not that far, you're NOT TOO FAR 

No matter how HURT you are, you're not that far, you're NOT TOO FAR

No matter how WRONG you are, you're not that far, you're NOT TOO FAR 

No matter who YOU are, you're not that far, you're NOT TOO FAR

From FORGIVENESS

Ask for FORGIVENESS 

'Cause we all make mistakes sometimes 

And we've all stepped across that line  

But nothing's sweeter than the day we find 

Forgiveness, forgiveness  

And we all stumble and we fall  

Bridges burn in the heat of it all

But nothing's sweeter than the day, sweeter than the day we call out for forgiveness 

Forgiveness  

We all need, we all need, all need forgiveness  

Forgiveness 

We all need, we all need 

No matter how lost you are, we all need forgiveness 

No matter how hurt you are, we all need forgiveness 

No matter how wrong you are, you're not that far, you're not too far 

No matter who you are, you're not too far, you're not too far  

We all need forgiveness, forgiveness  

We all need forgiveness, forgiveness  

We all need forgiveness, forgiveness  

We all need forgiveness, forgiveness

FYI, Lecrae is the pioneer of gospel rapping.

Lecrae

Gospel rapping is hip hop music characterized by a Christian worldview, with the general purposes of evangelization (Christian mission work), edifying some members of the church and/or simply entertaining (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_hip_hop).
Guess what? Lecrae has taken over the top position on iTunes hip-hop/rap chart (September, 2012)! Read: http://entertainment.time.com/2012/09/06/everything-you-need-to-know-about-lecrae-the-christian-rapper-who-is-1-on-itunes/

He doesn't do typical rapping. But, he raps His faith in Jesus Christ.

"I think a lot of players have foundations in their faith... A lot of guys love hip-hop or rap music, but they tend not to have hip-hop or rap music that kind of co-signs their views on life. I think that's kind of what i provide them."

Lecrae Moore     

"Lecrae said it the best. He doesn't want to be a celebrity. He doesn't want to be a superstar. He just wants to be the middle man for tou to see God through him."

Bubba Watson
