124 - Eye of the Tiger (Christian Cover) - Two for Christ

<p>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.</p> <p>"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).</p> <p><br></p> <p>Eye of the Tiger (Christian Cover): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfO9UoHi-vI</p> <p>Full performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GadkeBxcyd4&amp;t=0s</p> <p>Lift with Christ: https://liftwithchrist.org/</p> <p><br></p> <p>Lyrics:&nbsp;</p> <p>LYRICS &nbsp;</p> <p>Rising up, back on my feet&nbsp;</p> <p>Got knocked down, rose above it&nbsp;</p> <p>Went the distance, I don’t take no defeat&nbsp;</p> <p>I will thrive, I will not just survive &nbsp;</p> <p>Listen—Before I was a Christian something was missing&nbsp;</p> <p>Felt a little distant, dark, resistant&nbsp;</p> <p>Made a decision—got a new vision&nbsp;</p> <p>Wrote my goals, yeah wrote my mission &nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>B.C.
