The talk of the town currently is Spiderman 3. I recently watched it with my daughter, and Pastor B even quoted from it in his sermon two weeks ago.
Riding on the hype, Channel 5 recently broadcasted Spiderman and Spiderman 2.
In Spiderman 3, Peter Parker struggles with good and evil, and even gave in to his evil desires. Granted that at least in the end, good triumphed over evil.
While these superheroes are fictional and figments of imagination, there is one superhero that is real.
He was also tempted in every way known to man, but the difference is that He did not give in to those temptations and is without sin. (Heb 4:15)
The world is calling out for a hero and that is why they enjoy watching movies like Spiderman 3.
We believers have the answer. His name is Jesus.
Which brings me to the song at #8 in my all-time Top 10 songs.
In an earlier blog entry, I had mentioned what my all-time Top 10 Christian rock/pop songs are.
Just to recap, they are:
01. Jesus Freak - DC Talk
02. Take Me To Your Leader - Newsboys
03. More Sold Out - Whiteheart
04. I Am On The Rock - Petra
05. (Never Gonna Be As) Big As Jesus -Audio Adrenaline
06. Little Drummer - Jars of Clay
07. To Hell With The Devil - Stryper
08. Original Superman - Pillar
09. All For You - JONAH33
10. Alive - POD
The song is entitled Original Superman, r
eleased in 2000 by a band called Pillar, who comes from Oklahoma, USA.What is so special and unique about this song is that it starts off with the sounds of "scratching" a la rap. The verses are then sung to a reggae beat. The pre-chorus builds up the tempo and finally springs forth to a chorus one would more commonly associate with hard rock music.
He heals the sick He saves the lost
and died for you in case you've forgot, man
He'll jump a building in a single bound
I once was lost but now I'm found
He needs no mask or cape or gown
all He needs is His holy crown
it's time for you to understand
Jesus Christ the Original Superman
He'll be your hero in the end. He is that one true superfriend
Kryptonite can't slow him down nothin' can at all
He's always there for you. He'll pick you up if you should fall
He came to earth in the flesh and
Performing miracles and died for man
A forty day fast is more than I could take
he did it for you and he did it for my sake
Ye of little faith he said to them
raised his hand and all was calm again
It's time for you to understand
Jesus Christ the Original Superman
up up and away He's saving souls in a new way
Just like Superman was there He's always there to save the day
he works through all of us through Him we have the power
It's time to unify so we can constantly devour
The devil and all of his games we need not be ashamed
Of anything we can do that we can glorify His name
Many names he has been given Prince of Peace Son of Man
Here's one more for his list the Original Superman
