Written from a heart of both grief and hope, as can only come from a dad, TobyMac has put to music his thoughts and feelings during this season of mourning, after the passing of his son, Truett.
Pray for Toby and his family as you watch and listen to this video of "21 Years."
TobyMac's thoughts on "21 Years": " '21 years' is a song I wrote about the recent passing of my firstborn son, Truett Foster McKeehan," he says about this most personal song. "I loved him with all my heart. Until something in life hits you this hard, you never know how you will handle it. I am thankful that I have been surrounded by love, starting with God’s and extending to community near and far that have walked with us and carried us everyday. Writing this song felt like an honest confession of the questions, pain, anger, doubt, mercy and promise that describes the journey I’m probably only beginning. The rest is yet to come. One thing I know is that I am not alone. God didn’t promise us a life of no pain or even tragic death, but He did promise He would never leave us or forsake us. And I’m holding dearly to that promise for my son as well as myself."
