Description
This week, you're guaranteed to recognize the tune! TwoForChrist, a ministry of married couple Nick and Haley Gaglione, recently uploaded a live rendition of their cover of Survivor's Eye of the Tiger. The lyrics have been mostly swapped out for novel, motivational Christian lyrics. While the performance has found a lot of attention online, we have yet to see anyone address the song's message. We set out to investigate the lyrics. "Eye of the Tiger" by Two for Christ presents us with the opportunity to discuss how sincerity is demonstrated among Christians, and how this demonstration has changed over time. We also look at the Armor of God (Ephesians 6:11), how Christians can cause the devil to flee (James 4:7), and what benefits await those who overcome (Revelation 3).

I was aimlessly walking  Then one day I heard the voice of God talking:  “Rise up, child, to the enemy mocking  Prayer is your weapon, pray without stopping!”   It's the eye of the tiger—It's the thrill of the fight  Rising up to the challenge of our rival  With the heart of a lion & the armor of God  You will conquer it all with the eye of the tiger   Face to face with Satan himself  Don’t budge an inch, he’ll take miles  He’ll find your weakness, he will hit where it hurts  Stand your ground—make him run for the hills   It's the eye of the tiger—It's the thrill of the fight  Rising up to the challenge of our rival  If you cast all your cares on Him & pray through the night You will conquer it all with the eye of the tiger   Rising up straight to the top  Fight for Christ, give Him glory  Go the distance, don’t retreat, never stop  For the Lord always wins in the end   It's the eye of the tiger—It's the thrill of the fight  Rising up to the challenge of our rival  With the heart of a lion & the armor of God  You will conquer it all with the eye… of the tiger   Keep your eyes on God  And your heart in the word  Be a leader in Christ  Don’t follow with the herd   The eye of the tiger   Always walk by faith  Never walk by sight  With the armor of God  You’ll never lose the fight   The eye of the tiger --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/worship-review/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/worship-review/support
