TobyMac - Promised Land (CCM)

TobyMac - Promised Land
TobyMac has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Promised Land.

With "Promised Land," he follows up his No. 1 hit "Help Is On The Way (Maybe Midnight)." The song is available across all digital service providers and is being featured on Christian radio around the world.

"I think if we're honest, each of us have wondered, where is the promised land?," he remarks. "...Where's the blessing for me and my family that I thought would come my way on this earth when I chose to follow the King of Kings?"
 
TobyMac shared the video on Facebook in memory of his grandpa, a miner in West Virginia, where TobyMac's dad grew up in a mining camp. "It was a hard life," he says. "A life where I imagine they must have really wondered where in the world is my promised land?"
 
He says: "The lyics land where I want my life to land: that the promised land is no land at all, but a relationship with the King that loves us deeply. It turns from where's my promised land, to you're my promised land. Maybe the promised land we're looking for is no place at all, but a person named Jesus." 

Lyrics "Promised Land"

Head down as I punch this clock
The hours roll they never stop
And I can't ever seem to get ahead

Always tryin' to do what's right
The straight and narrows getting tight
Don't know how much longer I can stand

And I'm wonderin' yeah I'm wonderin'
Where's my promised land

Out here on this dessert road
It's hot as fire but I've grown cold
Circlin' like a plane that never lands

And even though the questions change
The answers always stay the same
Maybe someday I will understand

So I'm wonderin', got me wonderin'
Where's my promised land

Yeah I'm wonderin' still I'm wonderin'
Where's my promised land

Well I've run this earth for many years
And there's one thing I know
There's nowhere on this side of heaven
Where streets are made of gold
I've long laid down my grand illusions
Lookin' toward the day that I'll be home

I won't give up on this race
Broken but I still have faith
That this old life is all part of a plan
And I can feel it in my soul
One day I'll stand before the throne
With nothing left but hope in these 2 hands

Through all these seasons, I'm still believin'
You're my promised land
In all my grievin' I'm still believin'
You're my promise land

You're my promise land
You're my promise land
You're my promise land

"Thankful" by Lowen: The Practice of Being Thankful

Lowen's "Thankful" isn't one of those typical feel-good gratitude songs. Life is good most of the time… and even when it hurts, there's often something quietly waiting inside the pain, like a lesson, a softening, or a deeper understanding. Lowen found inspiration for this song in what Stephen Colbert once said, "… he learned to love the thing he most wished had never happened, and that simply being here is a gift. Gratitude means holding all of it, not just the easy parts."   The lyrics open with a warm anchor: "Every day that I wake, I just feel so thankful." We're encouraged not to flinch from the messy middle. This is not about ignoring life's quakes! Lowen admits, "honesty is telling me I need space" when the world feels unsteady. In other words, the gratitude that Lowen sings about isn't about forcing a smile through pain — it's about meeting every moment (including the hard moments) with presence, care, and res...

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....

"How Glorious" by Red Letter Society: Why This Song Unites the Church

"How Glorious" by Red Letter Society is a Trinity-focused song that pulls you into worship. Written by Justin Tweito and Jordan West, the song calls us to return to the heart of our faith. The opening line, "How wonderful is the cross of Christ,"  draws us into praise.  The song invites us to repentance and faith, but more importantly, the lyrics magnify the Trinity: the Father's eternal plan, the Son's sacrifice, and the Spirit's ongoing work in us. The song celebrates how every part of God is involved in redeeming us!  Have you ever wondered how a song can feel so unifying? That's the beauty of this song! It calls us, the Church, to stand together in bold praise. Instead of focusing on what divides us, it points us upwards, looking to our God who is glorious in love, power, and purpose. It encourages us to see the love of the Father, the blood of the Son, and how it is applied by the Holy Spirit.  There's no abstract theology in this song… the ...
