Promised Land – TobyMac

Seven-Time Gospel Grammy Award winner TobyMac releases a brand new single titled, “Promised Land.”

Speaking on the song, Toby says “I think if we’re honest, each of us has wondered, where is the “Promised land?” Where is 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?”

“The lyrics 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.” – he concludes.

The new single is Toby’s second, and serves as a follow-up to the breakout hit single, “Help Is On The Way (Maybe Midnight)”, which went #1 on five charts including the Billboard Christian Audience chart, and held on to #1 at Hot AC for 13 consecutive weeks.

This new song is written by TobyMac and Adam Agee and is accompanied by a video visual.

Lyrics: Promised Land By TobyMac

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 desert 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 two 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.
