Like everyone I have countless favorite songs, but if you asked me to pick just one all-time favorite song then without hesitation or a blink of an eye I would wholeheartedly say that "Lullaby" by Ghoti Hook from their 2000 album "Two Years To Never" is my favorite song of all-time... it makes me want to workout, run 10 miles, never wear a mask of fake-ness, have the courage to confess the failings I'm ashamed of, acknowledge the constant ongoing spiritual battle between the flesh & spirit, rise from the canvas when I've been knocked down, strive for a life that glorifies God, and become a better man... all in one song!
I feel like this song is my personal anthem as if someone wrote this song exactly for me and about me. It starts out very unassuming with a piano entry and crescendos into a garage band grunge / rock song that inspires every fiber of my soul. You'll probably hate it, but that will only make me love it even more =)
A line in the song says:
"Always a fight for me to change
Into the man you want me to be"
This is my spiritual fight song! It reminds me of when Jesus said, "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak" (Matthew 26:41). Life doesn't become easier when you start following Jesus; it becomes a spiritual street fight against an advisory that hates your guts and schemes 24/7 on how to kill, steal, & destroy you. But praise God, we have the Holy Spirit, the armor of God, the Word of God, the promises of God, and a Savior that has given us a pathway to victory: "But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Corinthians 15:57)... and even with all those assets for victory I can still be defeated if I don't use them and fight back in the power of the Holy Spirit. I know many Christians who are daily defeated just driving in rush hour traffic. I digress lol
Anyways, in case you're interested haha, here's the song you've never heard of and may wish you never heard if you choose to listen:
