Toby Mac is a hip-hop artist with a caveat...he is a Christian hip-hop singer. For me that sounds like an oxymoron, hip-hop and Christianity, but on K-Love radio station he has a following of generational fans.

For me he is a storyteller and one of my favorite songs of his is Speak Life. In an interview, Toby Mac defined success as "loving my family, loving my wife and children, loving the people I work with, my band, my managers, my agent and friends."

He concluded the interview with a message for his fans. "I hope this single reminds you that you can speak life to everyone you come in contact with every day, whether it is through your words, or the look in your eyes, or the smile on your face," he said.

As we BEGIN. new ventures, new commitments, new relationships, or new journeys, remember this happens to all of us...

Some days the tongue gets twisted Other day my thoughts just fall apart I do, I don't, I will, I won't It's like I'm drowning in the deep

Well, it's crazy to imagine Words from my lips as the arms of compassion Mountains crumble with every syllable Hope can live or die

So speak life, speak life To the deadest darkest night Speak life, speak life When the sun won't shine and you don't know why Look into the eyes of the broken hearted Watch them come alive as soon as you speak hope You speak love, you speak You speak life, oh oh oh oh oh You speak life, oh oh oh oh oh
