Stories
♡ Toby Mac Lyrics

We've been down to the bottom, stories we've got em
We have faced our toughest struggles and have stories to tell about the obstacles we've overcome.

When we hit rock bottom
When we faced our most challenging times.

If you been there put your hands in the air
If you've faced similar struggles, show your solidarity by raising your hands in the air.

So let the lost know that someone cares
It's important to show love and support to those who feel lost or alone.

'Cause we've been down to the bottom, stories we've got em
Our experiences have given us stories and lessons to share with others who may be going through hard times.

And let somebody know that the Most High cares
Believe that God cares for you and share that love with others.

I never knew that it would feel like this
Facing tough times is harder than expected.

When the two that raise you up and call it quits
When the people who you depended on for support abandon you.

Nobody told me bout the emptiness,
No one prepared me for the feeling of emptiness that comes when support is lost.

When the place you call home is closed for business
When the place of comfort and security is no longer available.

Rock bottom's never felt so near before
The lowest point seems closer than ever.

And if pain is God's megaphone, it's loud and clear
The message of pain is loud and clear, it calls for a response and action.

So hold me now Father, human love ain't enough
Turning to God is the ultimate source of comfort and strength when human love is not enough.

I've failed and been failed by the people I love
Experiencing disappointment and failure with those closest to you is painful.

But Your faithful arms, they surround me
God's loving and faithful presence brings comfort and protection.

And any other soul who has to sail those seas
Others who are going through similar struggles can also find comfort in God's love.

Been so many times that I been close to rock bottom
I have encountered struggles that made me feel close to losing hope.

Try to look for answers but nobody's got em
It's difficult to find answers and solutions to difficult problems.

Like the time my mother looked me in the eye, tryin not to cry
The painful experience of having a loved one struggle with a serious illness.

Tellin me that cancer might cause her to die
Hearing news of a potentially fatal illness is devastating.

So why would He try to take my mother from me
Asking tough questions when faced with painful experiences and struggles.

As I cry myself to sleep at night
The pain and emotions associated with difficult struggles can be overwhelming.

Holdin on my pillow tight
The need for comfort and support during difficult times.

He spoke to me and said that everything was gonna be alright
Finding hope and comfort in God's promise of peace and restoration.

So put your hands up if you're feeling me
Signal your agreement and solidarity with what's being sung about.

And put your hands up for everyone to see
Encouraging others to join in and show their support.

We all a family
Let's come together and support each other as a community.

In unity, its unity
Together in solidarity and support, we can overcome difficult struggles.

And the greatest lie you ever been told
The harmful and untrue message that you are the only one going through tough times.

Is you're the only one to walk on this road
Feeling isolated and alone on the difficult journey.

And that you'll never see the light of dawn
Feeling hopeless that things will eventually improve and get better.

So we came together to say... hold on
There is hope and we must hold on and endure even during the toughest times.

'Cause we've been there and found our way home
The artists have experienced tough times and have found a way to overcome and heal.

We promise you that you're not on your own
Encouraging others that they are not alone and can find support.

God will see us all through
Trusting in God's faithfulness and comfort during difficult struggles.

God will see us all pass through
The struggles won't last forever and God will help us overcome them.
