Gone

[MissScripture]

Gone is one of my all time favorite songs. Don't know why, but I can (and have) listened to it for HOURS on end. Anyone else love it? Anyone else know why they like it? People ask me, and I can't explain. Can anyone else?

[InCircles' brother]

never heard of it. sorry.

Does tobymac promote homosexuality? his cd title Diverse City (diversity) kinda made me wonder

[MissScripture]

I have no idea. The only song I listen to of his is Gone. Which is why it is strange that I like it so much...

You DO know that the word, "diversity" can mean MORE than implying a promotion of homosexuality?

ardillacid, do a search on Toby Mac and see what his music stands for and represents...I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised...

[Gal. 5:22,23]

Love to work out to "Love is in the house!" My kids think I'm weird though.


Tobymac - Love Is In The House


I clear my throat before I grab the mic
I need uno momento
Them cynics gonna ride me like a pinto
No resentment do you comprehend my innuendo
You still can't leave the party til you drop your crucial info
Am I jaded in assuming that you're simply bound to do me
Like them other lyricists who's message ain't so gloomy
Pan my positivity cause love has let you down
Cuz if they taste the love you tasted
They'd be making sweeter sounds, 'T

Government checks they flex with no dollars
Two turntables and a plate full of collards
Royalty checks reflects with few dollars
But my DJ makes the people wanna holler

[CHORUS]
Love is in the house and the house is packed
So much so I left the back door cracked
Mama always said it's a matter of fact
that when love is in the house the house is packed
Love is in the house and the house is packed
So much so I left the back door cracked
Daddy always said that I wish I was black
cuz when love is in the house the house is packed

Packed like a baby nine months in the womb
Man it was packed like the closet full of Nike's in my room
Singin' Oh sweet Lord take me to the next level
Where the love's much thicker than the stares of my devils
So whether or not this is a dream or reality
Let me appeal to the graces of His majesty
Amazing it will be when this tree bears life
My roots run to the river and the Giver of Life

Corporate jets they flex with big dollars
Two palm pilots and a room full of bawlers
Royalty checks reflects with few dollars
But amazing grace makes the people wanna holler

[CHORUS]

Woke up this morning, didn't know what to do
There was people all around me tellin' me to sing the blues
Said they ain't seen no happy since 1992
Then they turned to me thinking I'd agree and I offered
this humble view

[/quote]When he meant Diverse City he meant a world of different races and backgrounds.

Actually, this song has a lot of meaning for me and my best friend. Even if you don't like the singer, I love the song...This song stands true for my life at the moment. :

Yes i DO know what diversity can mean, but in our society, more often than not, homosexuality is covered by "diversity"

[inDEED]

Maybe in Minnesota?

[HomeTeamFamily]

i think the diversity theme also applies to one of the tracks where it speaks about like different denominations (what i understood it as) but how its all about the same Jesus....i think its like track 3 or 4 i dunno

i just got this cd today, girlfriend gave it to me......love it very much

[Totus Tuus]

man I just bought Momentum thinking it was the new CD because I've noticed that on Christian radio their new songs seem to be really good... but it was the old CD and I basically wasted 15 bucks because it kind of stinks..

[sweetpea316]

I LOVE the cd, especially that song and "Slam"....

And I love how his kid does stuff on some of the tracks too! Soo cute.

Yes it is

[Jesus Freak]

the song Gone is sooo true, thats probably why you like it so much. Everyone has heard the saying before, but you truly do not know what you have until it is gone.
