The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Changed Forever" by the artist "TobyMac"

Contents

In "Changed Forever," TobyMac depicts a profound transformation experienced by the protagonist after encountering a higher power, likely God.

Initially, the protagonist describes life before this encounter: hearing of God but not truly seeing Him. He pursued worldly success, even at the cost of his soul, ignoring truth for comforting lies. Seeking fulfillment in empty pleasures and relationships, he remained internally broken.

The turning point arrives when the protagonist "sees God's face." This metaphor signifies a deep spiritual awakening, a moment of clarity and truth realization. Encountering the divine changes everything: former values lose meaning as the world takes on new vibrancy. The protagonist recognizes the fleeting nature of material possessions and finds true happiness in love and devotion to God.

Further, the protagonist confesses living blinded by selfish desires, but divine love revealed the true nature of things. He underwent a metamorphosis, shedding his past and dedicating his life to serving God.

The chorus "Then I saw Your face, and I was changed forever" expresses the power and permanence of this transformation. Encountering God revolutionized his world, providing renewed purpose and everlasting love.

I heard your name, but never seen your face

Been touched before but never your embrace

Had a soul to lose and the world to gain

But then you whispered my name

And I heard the truth but never from your lips

Bought the lies of many counterfeits

Dreamed my dreams, but they were never in color

And I searched for you in many others

I was down for the count

Then I saw your face

Just a glimpse of your face, and my whole world changed

Then I saw your face, and I was changed forever

Changed forever now

Then I saw your face

One glimpse of your face, it's a whole new game

Then I saw your face, and I was changed forever

Yours forever now

If I could reach the stars, I could touch the sky

And if I spread my wings, I could almost fly

I had everything paper could buy

I was lost in my disguise

And if I played my role, they would feel my style

If I bought the night they would buy my smile

I've been runnin' this game for a million miles

Believin' my own lies

I was down, I was out

Then I saw your face

Just a glimpse of your face, and my whole world changed

Then I saw your face, and I was changed forever

Changed forever now

Then I saw your face

One glimpse of your face, it's a whole new game

Then I saw your face, and I was changed forever

Yours forever now

I was blinded by my selfish dreams

Everything ain't what it seems

From inside to out, there ain't no doubt I been changed

Nothing short of satisfaction

Your love caused a change reaction

I can tell you this much I felt your touch

And I'm changed

When I was down for the count, your love surrounded me

Blink of an eye

I saw my destiny

Change, rearranged 'cause I couldn't maintain

The heart it took to even stay in the game

One look in your eyes even I realized

A fellow like me had been put down to size

To be built up in a better way, your way

Yahweh ain't about to fade

Bombastic, ain't no way to mask it

I saw your face, and my old ways blasted

I'm yours forever now

Then I saw your face

Just a glimpse of your face, and my whole world changed

Then I saw your face, and I was changed forever

Changed forever now

Then I saw your face

One glimpse of your face, it's a whole new game

Then I saw your face, and I was changed forever

Yours forever now
