TobyMac - This Is Not A Test Album Lyrics

Like A Match

I keep hearin' people say, I need a getaway
We got that getaway that takes 'em to a whole new place
Won't leave us empty, won't leave us craving more
We found that fulfillin' fire that they been lookin' for

Oh oh oh oh
If it's real, we gotta show it
Oh oh oh oh
'Cause if it's not, they sure gonna know it

You and me, we gotta love
Hold nothing back
You and me, we gotta love
Strike it up, like a match

Burnin' for the world, we're
Burnin' for the world
Burnin' for the world to see
You and me, we gotta love
Strike it up, like a match

Ever tasted something sweet knock you off your feet
Or bumped a song, all night long kept it on repeat
I call up all my friends, I gotta let 'em in
I tell 'em, "take a drink of this and never thirst again"

Oh oh oh oh
If it's real, we gotta show it
Oh oh oh oh
'Cause if it's not, they sure gonna know it

You and me, we gotta love
Hold nothing back
You and me, we gotta love
Strike it up, like a match

Burnin' for the world, we're
Burnin' for the world
Burnin' for the world to see
You and me, we gotta love
Strike it up, like a match

That's who we are, who we are
That's who we are oh oh oh oh
That's who we are, who we are
That's who we are oh oh oh oh

If it's real, we gotta show it
'Cause if it's not, they sure gonna know it
If it's real, we gotta show it
'Cause if it's not, they sure gonna know it
they gonna know it

You and me, we gotta love
Hold nothing back
You and me, we gotta love
Strike it up, like a match

Burnin' for the world, we're
Burnin' for the world
Burnin' for the world to see
You and me, we gotta love
Strike it up, like a match

We gotta love, love
(Oooh)
Strike it up like a match

Backseat Driver

Silly me, silly me, aye
Revertin' back to my old ways
Them got to be in control days
Jump before I pray
Yo, I'm headed out the doorway
But I want Your way, Yahweh
From dirt roads to highways
You're showin' me a beautiful view from this backseat
But there's lots of room and I never would have seen it if I wasn't rolling with you

[Hollyn:]
I don't wanna be no backseat, (don't wanna be) no backseat driver
I don't wanna navigate, (don't wanna, uh), won't You take it over (take it over)
I don't wanna ever doubt You, I'm lost without You Lord
I don't wanna be no backseat, (don't wanna be) no backseat driver
You got the wheel, take me where You wanna go
My heart is Your's, no matter where we roll

[TRU:]
Been backseat my whole life
Now I turned 16 so it's time to drive
Buckle up, TRU behind the wheel
Got my iPhone bumping like (dom da dom)
GPS locked and the map was set
Thought I had it all right till the road went left
Spinning outta control in this Coupe de Ville
Now I'm sittin' shotgun, Jesus take the wheeel

[Hollyn:]
I don't wanna be no backseat, (don't wanna be) no backseat driver
I don't wanna navigate, (don't wanna, uh), won't You take it over (take it over)
I don't wanna ever doubt You, I'm lost without You Lord
I don't wanna be no backseat, (don't wanna be) no backseat driver

I'm putting my trust in You, putting my trust in You
It's a little bit overdue, but I'm putting my trust in You
[3x]

It's a whole new journey, a brand new path
And Imma fix my eyes so I won't look back
Tame this beating heart in my chest
Cause everything in my wants to jump ahead
So light it up, up
Don't let it fade
Light it up, up
Show me the way
Light it up Lord, just like You do
No second guessin', Imma move with You

[Hollyn:]
I don't wanna be no backseat, (don't wanna be) no backseat driver
I don't wanna navigate, (don't wanna, uh), won't You take it over (take it over)
I don't wanna ever doubt You, I'm lost without You Lord
I don't wanna be no backseat, (don't wanna be) no backseat driver
[2x]

This Is Not A Test

Fell out of the sky
Hit the ground runnin'
The future is tonight
They'll never see us comin'
Takin' by this urgency
Won't let this moment pass

Won't look back, gonna set my eyes
'Cause there ain't no practice runs in life

This is not a, this is not a test
This is the real thing
This is not a, this is not a test
This is the real thing
We gonna go til we got nothin' left

Lights Shine Bright

Lights shine bright everywhere we go
Music for the people to illuminate the soul
Lights shine bright everywhere we go
Music for the people, makin' music for the people

I wanna magnify Your light
I wanna reflect the sun
Cut like precious diamonds
With the colors by the millions
This is the only world we know
And for now this rental's our home
If we gonna be a reflection
Gotta make this third rock glow
(Just so you know ...)

Lights shine bright everywhere we go
Music for the people to illuminate the soul
Lights shine bright everywhere we go
Music for the people, makin' music for the people

Lights shine bright everywhere we go
Music for the people to illuminate the soul
Lights shine bright everywhere we go
Music for the people
Jesus music for the people

Everywhere we go
Lights shine bright, lights shine bright
Everywhere we go
Lights shine bright, lights shine bright

Lights in the city might be more than pretty, pretty
That freaky shine might be more than meets the eye
Anytime you see that sparkle in the dark you might look deeper, deeper
It might be more than simply theatre

Yo, that smile might be joy that's connected to the spirit
The spirit might be contagious if you dare, you dare come near it
I remember, can't forget, peace that you can't second guess
Sparkle as the light reflects we writin' pay it forward checks

Lights shine bright everywhere we go
Music for the people to illuminate the soul
Lights shine bright everywhere we go
Music for the people, makin' music for the people

Lights shine bright everywhere we go
Music for the people to illuminate the soul
Lights shine bright everywhere we go
Music for the people
Jesus music for the people

Everywhere we go
Lights shine bright, lights shine bright
Everywhere we go
Lights shine bright, lights shine bright

The lights in the city shine bright
The lights in the city shine bright
So let your heart light shine tonight

Lights shine bright everywhere we go
Music for the people to illuminate the soul
Lights shine bright everywhere we go
Music for the people, makin' music for the people

Lights shine bright everywhere we go
Music for the people to illuminate the soul
Lights shine bright everywhere we go
Music for the people
Jesus music for the people

Everywhere we go
Lights shine bright, lights shine bright
Everywhere we go
Lights shine bright, lights shine bright...

Til The Day I Die

I'll keep swingin' for the fences
It's like this heart is defenseless
Against the passion that's pumpin' through my veins
Blood, sweat, tears, it's a callin'
And if I can't walk, then I'm crawlin'
It might flicker, but they can't kill the flame

I can't stop
I can't quit
It's in my heart
It's on my lips
I can't stop, no
I can't quit
It's in my heart, yeah
I'm all in

Til the wheels fall off
Til the spotlight fades
I will lift your banner high
I will lift your banner high
And til the walls crash in
For the rest of my days
I'll lay it all on the line
Til the day I die
Til the day I die
Til the end of the line
Til the day I die
It's Your name I'll glorify

It's runnin' deeper than the ocean
This ain't religion, it's devotion
365, every minute, everyday
So in the middle of the madness
They can stretch me out like canvas
But I ain't ever gonna fit in their frame

I can't stop
I can't quit
It's in my heart
It's on my lips
I can't stop, no
I can't quit
It's in my heart, yeah
I'm all in

Til the wheels fall off
Til the spotlight fades
I will lift your banner high
I will lift your banner high
And til the walls crash in
For the rest of my days
I'll lay it all on the line
Til the day I die
Til the day I die
Til the end of the line
Til the day I die
It's Your name I'll glorify

[NF:]
Til I die and they put me in the coffin
Don't matter if I'm on the road or if I'm recordin'
Tell me what you think about me, that really ain't important
You know Imma represent um, I ain't playin', can't afford to
I only got one life and I get it though
And this is not an act, not a movie, not a TV show
I don't know what quittin' means, I don't ever take it slow
You know I'm on the grind, me and Toby in the studio
Do it for the King, what you know about that?
Say you goin' harder, mmm I doubt that'
You say you doin' work, but you're asking where the couch at
How you doin' work when you asking where the couch at?
God is not a crutch, you can use Him when you wanna
You only look to heaven when you goin' through some drama
And when they goin' through some problems and that's the only time they call Him
I guess I don't understand that life, wonder why?
Cause' I'm all in
Til the day I die

Til the wheels fall off
Til the spotlight fades
I will lift your banner high
I will lift your banner high
And til the walls crash in
For the rest of my days
I'll lay it all on the line
Til the day I die
Til the day I die
Til the end of the line
Til the day I die
It's Your name I'll glorify

Feel It

Funktify
C'mon
'bout to do it like this
'bout to do it like this
1-2-3-4

When I sit back and imagine
Life without you, I can't fathom
How I ever thought I'd make it on my own
And there's at least a million reasons
I'm still standing here believin'
You're my comfort, you're my healin'
This I know (this I know)

Well, you can't see the wind, but it moves the leaves
From the bottom to the top of the tallest trees
You are everything I will ever need
And they can't take that from me

Oh, I feel it in my heart
I feel it in my soul
That's how I know
You take our brokenness and make us beautiful
Yeah, that's how I know (can't take that from me)

Love came crashin' in
Never gonna be the same again
Yeah, You came crashing in
You wrecked me, You wrecked me
[x2]

Everybody talkin' like they need some proof
But what more do I need than to feel you
Everybody talkin' like they need some proof
But what more do I need than to feel you

When I sit back and imagine
Life without you, I can't fathom
How I ever thought I'd make it on my own
And there's at least a million reasons
I'm still standing here believin'
You're my comfort, you're my healin'
This I know (this I know)

Well, you can't see the wind, but it moves the leaves
From the bottom to the top of the tallest trees
You are everything I will ever need
And they can't take that from me

Oh, I feel it in my heart
I feel it in my soul
That's how I know
You take our brokenness and make us beautiful
Yeah, that's how I know (can't take that from me)

Love came crashin' in
Never gonna be the same again
Yeah, you came crashing in
You wrecked me, you wrecked me
[x2]

That's how I know
That's how I know
That's how I know
That's how I know

Oh, I feel it in my heart
I feel it in my soul
That's how I know
You take our brokenness and make us beautiful
Yeah, that's how I know (can't take that from me)
[x2]

Everybody talkin' like they need some proof
But what more do I need than to feel you
Everybody talkin' like they need some proof
But what more do I need than to feel you

Move (Keep Walkin')

Another heartbreak day
Feels like you're miles away
Don't even need no shade
When your sun don't shine, shine

Too many passin' dreams
Roll by like limousines
It's hard to keep believin'
When they pass you by and by

I know your heart been broke again
I know your prayers ain't been answered yet
I know you're feeling like you got nothing left
Well, lift your head, it ain't over yet, ain't over yet so

Move, keep walkin' soldier keep movin' on
Move, keep walkin' until the mornin' comes
Move, keep walkin' soldier keep movin' on
And lift your head, it ain't over yet, ain't over yet

Echoin' inside your head
Are the words that your sweet momma said,
"shoot for the moon, my dear"
So you took aim out of this atmosphere
Between high stakes and pump fakes
You're feelin' like you can't buy a break
I can hold your hand, but I can't turn your eyes to freedom

I know your heart been broke again
I know your prayers ain't been answered yet
I know you're feeling like you got nothing left
Well, lift your head, it ain't over yet, ain't over yet so

Move, keep walkin' soldier keep movin' on
Move, keep walkin' until the mornin' comes
Move, keep walkin' soldier keep movin' on
And lift your head, it ain't over yet, ain't over yet

Hold on, hold on
Lord ain't finished yet
Hold on, hold on
He'll get you through this
Hold on, hold on
These are the promises
I never will forget
I never will forget [x2]

I know your heart been broke again
I know your prayers ain't been answered yet
it ain't over yet, ain't over yet so

Move, keep walkin' soldier keep movin' on
Move, keep walkin' until the mornin' comes
Move, keep walkin' soldier keep movin' on
And lift your head, it ain't over yet, ain't over yet..

Love Broke Thru

I was feelin' that, feelin' that breeze
Singin' like a song thru the tall oak trees
It was just another summer night
Had to be the last thing on my mind
Yeah, I was all but lost in the moment
I was young and runnin' wide open
It was just another summer night
Had to be the last thing on my mind

When love broke thru
You found me in the darkness
Wanderin' thru the desert
I was a hopeless fool
Now I'm hopelessly devoted
My chains are broken
And it all began with You
When love broke thru
And it all began with You
When love broke thru

I did all that I could to undo me
But You loved me enough to pursue me
Yeah, You drew me out of the shadows
Made me believe that I mattered, to You (You)
You were there, You heard my prayer in that broke down dusty room
It was the first time I said, "I'm Yours"
The first time I called You Lord

When love broke thru
You found me in the darkness
Wanderin' thru the desert
I was a hopeless fool
Now I'm hopelessly devoted
My chains are broken
And it all began with You
When love broke thru
And it all began with You
When love broke thru

Yeah, it was late in the summer when the northeast breeze
Sang like a song thru the oak trees
Pennsylvania
She kind of caught my soul
Which had me a little more open than closed
Walls I built
Opinions I learned
Covered in the ashes of bridges I burned
Blind to the arrow that headed to my heart
But You hit the mark

When love broke thru
You found me in the darkness
Wanderin' thru the desert
I was a hopeless fool
Now I'm hopelessly devoted
My chains are broken
And it all began with You
When love broke thru

When love broke thru
You found me in the darkness
Wanderin' thru the desert
I was a hopeless fool
Now I'm hopelessly devoted
My chains are broken
And it all began with You
When love broke thru
And it all began with You
When love broke thru

I did all that I could to undo me
But You loved me enough to pursue me

Beyond Me

Call it a reason to retreat
I got some dreams that are bigger than me
I might be outmatched, outsized, the underdog in the fight of my life
Is it so crazy to believe

That You gave me the stars, put them out of my reach
Called me to waters a little too deep
Oh, I've never been so aware of my need
You keep on making me see
It's way beyond me
It's way beyond me
Yeah, it's out of my league
It's way beyond me
It's way beyond me
It's way beyond

Anything that I got the strength to do
In over my head keeps me countin' on You
I'm leaving the sweet spot, sure shot
Tradin' it all for the plans You got
Is it so crazy to believe

That You gave me the stars, put them out of my reach
Called me to waters a little too deep
Oh, I've never been so aware of my need
Yeah, you keep on making me see
It's way beyond me
It's way beyond me
Yeah, it's out of my league
It's way beyond me
It's way beyond me

You take me to the place where I know I need You
Straight to the depths that I can't handle on my own
And Lord I know, I know I need You
So take me to Your great
Take me to Your great unknown

It's way beyond me, w-way beyond me
It-it's way beyond me, w-w-way beyond me

Yeah, You gave me the stars, put them out of my reach
Called me to waters a little too deep
Oh, I've never been so aware of my need
Yeah, you keep on making me see
It's way beyond me (it's way beyond me)
It's way beyond me (it's way beyond me)
Yeah, it's out of my league (it's way beyond me)
It's way beyond me (it's way beyond me)
It's way beyond me (it's way beyond me)
It's way beyond me

You take me to the place where I know I need You
Straight to the depths that I can't handle on my own (it's way beyond me)
You take me to the place where I know I need You
Oh take me to Your place
Take me to Your great unknown

Love Feels Like

I am tired, I am drained
But the fight in me remains
I am weary, I am worn
Like I've never been before

This is harder than I thought
Harder than I thought it'd be
Harder than I thought
Takin' every part of me
Harder than I thought
So much harder than I thought it'd be
But empty's never felt so full

This is what love (this is what love)
This is what love
Feels like
This is what love (this is what love)
This is what love
Feels like
Poured out, used up, still givin',
stretching me out to the end of my limits
This is what love (this is what love)
This is what real love
Feels like
This is what love feels like poured out,
used up still willin' to fight for it
This is what love feels like
Yeah, this is what it feels like

Like floating confetti
The beautiful gets messy
When the fall out finds the floor
But in the depths of the trenches
Is the richest of riches
Love is calling us to more

This is what love (this is what love)
This is what love
Feels like
This is what love (this is what love)
This is what love
Feels like
Poured out, used up, still givin',
stretching me out to the end of my limits
This is what love (this is what love)
This is what real love
Feels like
This is what love feels like poured out,
used up still willin' to fight for it
This is what love feels like
Yeah, this is what it feels like

And now these three remain
Faith, hope and love
But the greatest of these is love

It's worth everything you put in
Everything you put in...
Love
This is what it feels like

Poured out, used up, still givin',
stretching me out to the end of my limits

This is what love (this is what love)
Feels like
This is what love (this is what love)
This is what love
Feels like
This is what love (this is what love)
Feels like
This is what love (this is what love)
This is what love
Feels like

This is what love (this is what love)
Feels like

Poured out, used up, still givin',
Poured out, used up, still givin',
Poured out, used up, still givin',
stretching me out to the end of my limits

Undeniable

There are moments that I doubt You
Blind to the beauty that surrounds me
I try to push away the need that I'm needin' proof
And this struggle that I have, it ain't nothing new
But the evidence is piling up, yup
You change my heart isn't that enough
You give me life that I can't take credit for
Call me to walk through an open door

Undeniable, You are, You are, You are
Unmistakable, You are, You are
You're the bright and morning star
But still You speak to my heart
Undeniable, You are, You are

Your work doesn't stop with me
Your signature's on everything we see
From the hills of Negril, Jamaica
To the kid that the doctor said would never make it
Which is harder to believe that You don't exist
Or that You orchestrated all of this
Living in the world that is so confusing
You're the argument I'm never losing
'Cause I believe

Undeniable, You are, You are, You are
Unmistakable, You are, You are
You're the bright and morning star
But still You speak to my heart
Undeniable, You are, You are

From the hymns that my Daddy sang,
I know I was made to glorify Your name
And from the prayers that my Momma prayed
I know I was made to glorify Your name [x3]

Undeniable, You are, You are, You are
Unmistakable, You are, You are
You're the bright and morning star
But still You speak to my heart
Undeniable, You are, You are

Undeniable, You are, You are, You are
Unmistakable, You are, You are
You're the bright and morning star
But still You speak to my heart
Undeniable, You are, You are

You're the bright and morning star
But still You speak to my heart
Undeniable, You are, You are

Which is harder to believe that You don't exist
Or that you orchestrated all of this
Living in the world that is so confusing
You're the passion that I'm never losing
