One month after the tragic death of his eldest son Truett Foster McKeehan, Christian rapper TobyMac is speaking out about the outpouring of love he and his family have received.
'As we enter this week of Thanksgiving we have something we’d like to share... Such overwhelming love has surrounded us this last month,' TobyMac -- whose real name is Toby McKeehan -- wrote in a social media post on Thursday.
'We still don’t quite know which end is up but we do KNOW, we are loved,' he continued. 'As we mourn our firstborn son, God has poured out His love on us... through people. He has loved us through you....your kind acts and words and prayers and thoughts and songs and poems and teachings and gifts and meals and time and expertise and travel have made death bearable.
'You have been God’s light to us in our darkest days ... A comfort to our broken hearts,' TobyMac added. 'We have experienced family at every layer and every turn. From the closest to those who have loved from a distance, thank you, thank you a thousand times over. We are grateful for your gentle and compassionate hearts. It is something we will ...never forget. Community as it should be...the body at its best. How God must be pleased!'
He noted: 'Also- We’ve been encouraging ourselves to stand on this...the place of death is actually where all that we believe is most significant. That God has the power to do what he promised, ... defeat death and give life to anyone who believes.
'So from the valley of the shadow of death we pray a flood of thankfulness will rise this week. Thankfulness to a kind God who is not afraid. ... The Father of the Heavenly lights...who shines most beautifully in the darkness, and gives us everything we need,' TobyMac concluded.
The 55-year-old shared his heartfelt message alongside a series of photos from the funeral as well as a picture of his late son.
Truett, who was an aspiring rapper and collaborated with his father on a few tracks, died on Oct. 24. A rep for TobyMac told Fox News at the time that Truett died at his Nashville home. He was 21.
'Toby was traveling back from Canada and did not get home to be with his family until after midnight last night so there is no statement. We just ask that everyone please be respectful of their privacy during this time and allow them to grieve their loss,' the singer's rep said.
In a tribute written by TobyMac, and obtained by Fox News, he said his son 'had joy that took the room when he entered.'
'He was a magnetic son and brother and friend. If you met him you knew him, you remembered him,' TobyMac wrote. 'His smile, his laugh, the encouragement he offered with words or even without. He had an untamable grand personality and dreams to match. And he hated being put in a box.'
In his tribute, TobyMac also shared the last text message exchange he had with Truett, where he told his son how proud of him he was, to which Truett responded: 'love you dad. thank you so much. you have always believed in me. make me feel like a superhero.'
TobyMac concluded his tribute by saying that he and his wife, Amanda -- with whom he also shares children, twins Moses and Marlee, Leo, and Judah -- 'would want the world to know' the following.

'We don’t follow God because we have some sort of under the table deal with Him, like we’ll follow you if you bless us. We follow God because we love Him. It’s our honor.'
'He is the God of the hills and the valleys,' TobyMac said. 'And He is beautiful above all things.'
Father God, I am clay in your hands
Help me to stay that way through all life's demands
'Cause they chip and they nag and they pull at me
And every little thing I make up my mind to be
Like I'm gonna be a daddy whose in the mix
And I'm gonna be a husband who stays legit
And I pray that I'm an artist who rises above
The road that is wide and filled with self love
Everything that I see draws me
Though it's only in You that I can truly see that its a feast for the eyes- a low blow to purpose
And I'm a little kid at a three ring circus
I don't want to gain the whole world and lose my soul
Don't wanna walk away let me hear the people say
The paparazzi flashes and that they think that it's you
But they don't know that who you are is not what you do
True, we get it twisted when we peak at the charts
You before we part from the start where's your heart?
You a pimp, hustler?
Tell me what's your title
America has no more stars now we call them idols
You sit idle While we teach prosperity
The first thing to prosper should be inside of me
We're free...
Not because of 22's on the range
But Christ came in range we said yes now we changed
Not the same even though I made a fall
since I got that call no more Saul now I'm Paul

I don't want to gain the whole world and lose my soul
Don't wanna walk away let me hear the people say
How do I sense the tide that's rising?
De-sensitizing me from living in light of eternity
How do I sense the tide that's rising?
It's hypnotizing me from living in light of eternity
I don't want to gain the whole world and lose my soul
Don't wanna walk away let me hear the people say
Lord forgive us when we get consumed by
The things of this world that fight for our love and our passion
As our eyes are open wide and on you
Grant us the priviledge of your wealth and may your kingdom
Be what wakes us up and lays us down
