American Christian/Gospel Hip Hop Artiste, TobyMac, recently released a new Single Titled “Promised Land” featuring Sheryl Crow. This song figuratively expresses mixed feelings about what one ought to do in order to get to the promised land, as the more one tries to do right, the more difficult it becomes. TobyMac concluded by saying “I won’t give up on this race
Broken but I still have faith
That this old life is part of a plan
And I can feel it in my soul
One day, I’ll stand before the throne
With nothin’ left but hope and these two hands.”
This song encourages us not to lose heart, give up, or even give in, no matter what we are going through. Our faith should always prevail because Jesus is our promised land.
Be blessed as you listen!

Lyrics:
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 believing, You’re my promised land
In all my grievin’ I’m still believin’, You’re my promise land.
