Songwriting

TobyMac says he immediately started writing following his loss. “That’s what I know to do when I’m in so much pain,” he says. “You go to what you know, what you love and what brings you peace.” He never thought he would write another uptempo song, but that changed when he stumbled upon a particular scripture about God “rolling up his sleeves on our behalf.” After reading it, TobyMac said aloud, “Help is on the way,” and he was inspired to write “Help Is on the Way (Maybe Midnight).”
