Contemporary Christian superstar rapper tobyMac has released Feel It from his new album, This is Not a Test, and this may be my favorite tobyMac single since Lose My Soul from 2007!
WHAT A JAM!
Radio didn’t react as well as I would have liked to the album’s previous single, the decidedly less upbeat Beyond Me, but there is no doubt they’ll warm up to this irresistibly funky single. With a guest “vocal” from Byron “Mr. Talkbox” Chambers, a ridiculously catchy bassline, and a brass section that won’t quit, Feel It is proof that Mr. McKeehan continues to rule the Christian radio roost even as he enters his 50s.
Despite Feel It‘s lighter-than-air message–rave reviews for the song and the video overpower the occasional “Where’s Jesus in this song message?”–Feel It will definitely make Billboard’s Christian Songs Top 10, and a No.1 finish isn’t out of the question. It’s absolutely brilliant.
FEEL IT
tobyMac featuring Mr Talkbox
When I sit back and imagine
Life without You, I can’t fathom
How I ever thought I’d make it on my own
And there’s at least a million reasons
I’m still standing here believin’
You’re my comfort, You’re my healin’
This I know (this I know)
Well, you can’t see the wind, but it moves the leaves
From the bottom to the top of the tallest trees
You are everything I will ever need
And they can’t take that from me
Oh, I feel it in my heart
I feel it in my soul
That’s how I know
You take our brokenness and make us beautiful
Yeah, that’s how I know
Everybody talkin’ like they need some proof
But what more do I need than to feel You
When I sit back and imagine
Life without You, I can’t fathom
How I ever thought I’d make it on my own

You’re my comfort, You’re my healin’

That’s how I know
You take our brokenness and make us beautiful
Yeah, that’s how I know
(Can’t take that from me)
Love came crashin’ in
Never gonna be the same again
Yeah, You came crashing in
You wrecked me, You wrecked me
Love came crashin’ in
Never gonna be the same again
Yeah, You came crashing in
You wrecked me
That’s how I know
Oh, I feel it in my heart
I feel it in my soul
That’s how I know
You take our brokenness and make us beautiful
Yeah, that’s how I know
Oh, I feel it in my heart
