My formerly religious-stained mind is always seeing traces (and often huge chunks) of legalism in various things, even things that have nothing to do with Christian doctrine. LOL. It's not as if I seek these things out... they just come to me! Ha ha! And so in fun, but with a tinge of seriousness, I present this song to you from a different perspective than is intended by the song. Rather than a man acting tough for his woman, think of all the religious (read: legalistic) Christians out there for whom this song would be their mantra before God. "Look at all the things I'll do for You!" Or "Look at all the things I've done for You!" "Ain't that tough enough?"
And then thank God that we don't have to act tough in front of Him, and that His pleasure in us isn't based one bit on what we (think we can) do for Him!
I found a video for the song on youtube, but the audio quality wasn't all that great, plus it's more of a PG rated video than a G rated video (might be slightly offensive to some) so it's just as well. In lieu of that, then, I created playlist on playlist.com with just this one song! (See another playlist I created at the very bottom of this blog, with lots more songs). By the way, whoever is hosting this particular song on the internet incorrectly calls it "Tough Enough."
