City On Our Knees - tobyMac

This song if off tobyMac's new album Tonight and our group in Honduras really thought it applied to our trip.


If you gotta start somewhere why not here
If you gotta start sometime why not now
If we gotta start somewhere I say here
If we gotta start sometime I say now
Through the fog there is hope in the distance
From cathedrals to third world missions
Love will fall to the earth like a crashing wave

Tonight’s the night
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide in a beautiful display
It’s all up tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

If you gotta start somewhere why not here
If you gotta start sometime why not now
If we gotta start somewhere I say here
If we gotta start sometime I say now
Through the fog there is hope in the distance
From cathedrals to third world missions
Love will fall to the earth like a crashing wave

Tonight’s the night
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide in a beautiful display
It’s all love tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh-oh-oh

Tonight could last forever
We are one choice from together
Tonight could last forever
Ooh

Tonight could last forever
We are one choice from together
As family
We’re family

Oh Tonight could last forever
We are one choice from together
You and me
Ya, you and me

Tonight’s the night
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide
In a glorious display
Cuz its all love tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king

A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh oh oh
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh oh oh

If we gotta start somewhere why not here
If we gotta start sometime why not now 

Hey Devil - tobyMac

She dialed him about 6:00 pm
She checked her hair in the mirror
And she stepped through the door like this
Three flights down
And she's out on the streets
Walking brick sidewalks lined in grey concrete

He saw her coming from a few blocks away
Red scarf in the wind as it started to rain a bit
Shuffled down the boulevard
Cut me like a deck of cards
I thought you had me
You thought that you had me

But hey, Devil, go on
Get your junk out of here
I don't need you
I don't need you
Hey, Devil, go on
Get your junk out of here
I don't need you
So move on

I stepped to it like I knew what I was doing
I'm a moth
You're the flame
Never knew you'd be my ruin
In the blink of an eye
Element of surprise
Got my feet on the earth
But my face to the sky

Shuffled down the boulevard
Cut me like a deck of cards
I thought you had me
You thought you had me
Now the plot is thickening
Pushing deep under my skin
I thought you had me
You that that you had me 


But hey, Devil, go on
Get your junk out of here
I don't need you
I don't need you
Hey, Devil, go on
Get your junk out of here
I don't need you
So move on 


But hey, Devil, go on
Get your junk out of here
I don't need you
I don't need you
Hey, Devil, go on
Get your junk out of here
I don't need you
So move on

You're a beauty and A beast
You're the pressure never cease
You're the straight other side
And they say you never sleep


But hey, Devil, go on
Get your junk out of here
I don't need you
I don't need you
Hey, Devil, go on
Get your junk out of here
I don't need you
So move on 

Tonight

TobyMac's new album, Tonight, came out yesterday.  I've been listening to it and it is quite good.  TobyMac has such an original sound and (like BlueTree) all his songs are seek to glorify God and give Him the praise.  You just can't go wrong with TobyMac.

TobyMac!!!!!!!

I'm going to see TobyMac and Relient K tomorrow in concert tomorrow with my youth group!!! Yay!! I'm so excited! I've waited months for this and now it's only one more day!!!! I can't wait!! All I have to do now is survive another school day...it will be so worth it though!

City On Our Knees

Anyone of my fellow students like TobyMac? I think his music is awesome and I'm actually going to see him in concert in Novemeber with my youth group! I'm sooooo excited!! Anyway...has anyone heard his new single "City On Our Knees"? It is a great song. I love it. It's a bit different then his previous songs but still just as good. It's very quiet and slow but the lyrics and the music are very moving. It talks about everyone coming together and becoming a city on our knees, worshiping God. My soul just wants to sing and I feel like dancing when I hear it. If you haven't heard it yet, you can go to http://free.napster.com/view/artist/index.html?id=11508481 and it should be the first song on the list. Let me know what you think.
