TobyMac Drops Song ’21 Years’ To Honor Fallen Son Truett Foster McKeehan

FAIRFAX, VA. (THECOUNT) — Christian rapper TobyMac has dropped “21 Years” Friday, a new song to honor the sudden passing of his oldest son, Truett Foster McKeehan.

McKeehan, 21, was an aspiring rapper who released songs and videos mostly online.

TobyMac shared a note detailing grief that followed his son’s death. The song provides “an honest confession of the questions, pain, anger, doubt, mercy and promise that describes the journey I’m probably only beginning,” reports Tennessean.

“One thing I know is that I am not alone,” the statement continued. “God didn’t promise us a life of no pain or even tragic death, but He did promise He would never leave us or forsake us. And I’m holding dearly to that promise for my son as well as myself.”

A sobering, four-minute reflection, TobyMac sings in the chorus: “Are you singin’ with the angels?/ Are you happy where you are?/ Well, until this show is over/ And you run into my arms/ God has you in Heaven/ But I have you in my heart.”
