Pillar Album: For the Love of the Game Track: Throwdown
Throwdown Lyrics
Light It Up
Training day is over It's been laid on the line I'll give this all I've got And I'll find my time to shine I will settle for no less Than the best I've got to give Only the strong survive When they try to take you down
Toe to toe and pound for pound It's time to step up it's time to throw it down There's nothing you say that could ever fade me Serving up another lesson learned Light it up and let the fire burn There's nothing you say that could ever change me Toe to toe and pound for pound Step right up its time to throw down
The cage awaits the moment The tension pushes through The stage is set to showdown I'm not turning my back on you Face to face with the enemy Giving in to you I refuse Somebody's gotta win And I don't know how to lose
Song Description: This track is another dynamic rocker that focuses on the spiritual battle every believer needs to engage in fully. The time for preparation has passed ("Training day is over"), and now it's time to meet our spiritual enemy head on: "Toe to toe, pound for pound/It's time to step up/It's time to throw it down/ ... Face to face with the enemy/Giving in to you, I refuse/Somebody's gotta win/And I don't know how to lose." "When it comes to the spiritual realm," Rob says, "it's a reality. As Christians, we may not feel like dwelling on it, but that doesn't make it any less real. There's a battle going on in the spiritual realm-it's a straight-up, no-holds-barred, cutthroat fight. We can either choose to engage or choose to ignore it. And Satan wants us to ignore it, because the more we do, the better off he is. But anyone who ignores the battle is right where Satan wants them. But for those of us who are devout followers of Christ, we have to choose to step into battle every day."
