New Music Friday: "Heaven On my Mind" By TobyMac

There’s something about “Heaven On My Mind” by TobyMac that feels like a breath of fresh air. It’s joyful, honest, and hopeful, all wrapped up in that signature TobyMac energy we love. From the opening line, you can almost feel the sunshine coming through the song.

This song is a reminder that no matter what we face here on earth, there’s something greater waiting for us. Life has its mix of joy and pain, sunshine and rain, but our hope isn’t found in this world, it’s found in what’s ahead.

I got Heaven on my mind, I got people waitin’ by, Close my eyes and I can see, Dancin’ on them golden streets

For TobyMac, these lyrics come from a deeply personal place. After walking through the heartbreaking loss of his son, he’s often talked about how his music has become a reflection of both grief and faith. “Heaven On My Mind” beautifully captures that balance, holding onto hope even when life feels heavy. It’s a song about longing for eternity while still living fully in the present.

It echoes the words of Philippians 3:20, which reminds us: “But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ.”

This world isn’t our final home, and that truth can bring comfort when life feels uncertain. “Heaven On My Mind” lifts our eyes from what’s temporary to what’s eternal, reminding us that the story isn’t over and that reunion, joy, and peace are waiting for us in God’s presence.

Until that day comes, we can keep living with gratitude, love, and a heart anchored in hope. Because even when life is good here, we know the best is yet to come.

Life ain’t bad down here, but, I got Heaven on my mind.
