![]() It’s the next portion of the first verse that has me rather frustrated. So the unclear sun that doesn’t shine could be an internal mood thing or an external circumstance thing. Vague pronoun use is part of TobyMac’s colloquial style. Not clear on the pronouns if it’s a scenario where the person feels that way because their own light isn’t shining (depressed) or if its because of a trial the God has brought (or allowed to be brought) upon the individual. What’s the dilemma? Well, we have a heartbreak day when someone feels isolated and alone… but not like in a scorching desert rather, it’s like being in the dead of winter under a prolonged night… no sunshine. Here, TobyMac presents the dilemma for the first time. So what’s wrong with that? Well, the song doesn’t get any more helpful than that, and there are lines that suggest that victory will be born out in our circumstances and that we’ll have our prayers answered because God’s not yet finished with us so we need to move, keep walkin’. So the over arching theme of this song is simple: Don’t let your current circumstances bring you down, just keep doing the Christian thing and eventually you’ll have victory. ![]() I can hold your hand, but I can’t turn your eyes to freedomĪnd lift your head, it ain’t over yet, ain’t over yet Discussion You’re feelin’ like you can’t buy a break Move, keep walkin’ until the mornin’ comesĪnd lift your head, it ain’t over yet, ain’t over yetĪre the words that your sweet momma said, Move, keep walkin’ soldier keep movin’ on ![]() Well, lift your head, it ain’t over yet, ain’t over yet so I know you’re feeling like you got nothing left I know your prayers ain’t been answered yet We’ll do our best to clean up the narrative, but frankly this is a rather indulgent and empty motivation song. We’ll work through the lyric together, but this song ends up being the musical equivalent to “if at first you don’t succeed, try, try, again.” There’s no Gospel here, no Law, just empty cheer-leading and an allusion to a false promise. In today’s song, I’m not even sure he’s clear on what the problem is. ![]() TobyMac puts out another motivational song devoid of scriptural foundation or prescription. Today we’ll be taking a look at “Move (Keep Walkin’)” by TobyMac which currently sits at #16 on the 20theCountdownMagazine. There is truly healing power in forgiveness and reconciliation.April 4, 2016. They both share messages of hope and trust in our Lord and Father in Heaven. These words are the perfect compliment to this upcoming movie. Through the darkness, He is truly the compass and the light that will always guide us right back home. When we cry out to Him, He never leaves our side. Even when we think He may not hear us, the Lord is always listening. The Lord is truly our hope, our light and our strength. Even though, there may be times in our lives where we feel lost or distant from the Lord, He will never abandon us. These words are such a powerful reminder that the Lord is always by our side.
