Those kinds of statements aren't made lightly. They don't come without merit. In Anthony Evans' case, these words couldn't ring more true.
It's not every day that a new talent emerges with as much promise and inspiration as this Dallas, Texas native. Yet, Anthony Evans never thought he'd be here. He couldn't have forecasted this future had he been asked to do so just a few years ago. With that said, the June 8th, 2004 release of his inspiring INO Records debut, Even More, is an accomplishment for which he takes very little credit.
"I realize now that God has orchestrated everything," says Anthony. "Sometimes we don't see it, but He's painting this whole picture for us as long as we allow Him to do it. I had come to the place where I could listen to Him say, 'Anthony, just trust Me.'
"God has taken me out of my comfortable Christian environment and through this, I've realized I can't stand on my own. Without God as the focal point of my life, everything was and is pointless. I still can't fathom the depth of His unconditional love for me and that God accepts me just as I am. Each song on Even More captures a dimension of this experience and how it has affected my life."
The Fight
Anthony Evans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No one ever finds
There's a mystery deep inside
The constant struggling of who I am
And who I want to be
I'm always trying to decide
And it feels like forever
It feels like I'm wasting my time
Then you
You opened up my eyes and now I see
That you
Will finish what you started here in me
So I choose
To follow you and leave it all behind
I'm not giving up this time
You're worth The Fight
In the heart of me I believe
That there will come a day
When every piece of my will be rearranged
I'm hopeful as I wait
hanging on each word you say to me
I know I'm better off this way
Your worth
Every mountain I will have to climb
These wars raging in my soul and in my mind cause
I'm sure that one day I'll be looking in your eyes
and that's worth the fight
In the song, "The Fight", Anthony Evans is expressing the internal struggle he battles with every day. He talks about the mystery that lies within him and how he always finds himself in a state of constant confusion about who he truly is and who he wants to become. Evans feels like he is wasting his time trying to figure out the inner turmoil he is dealing with, as he grapples with feeling incomplete and unsatisfied. However, he finds hope in the fact that he has met someone special who sees him for who he is and believes in him. This person has opened up his eyes and made him realize that he can be the best he can ever be. Evans chooses to follow this special person and leave everything behind because he believes he is worth the fight.
As the song progresses, Evans believes that he will one day become a better person. He is hopeful that every piece of him will be rearranged as he waits for this day to come. He believes that he is better off following this person, so he is not giving up this time; he is worth the fight. This fight is worth it because he knows that he will have to climb every mountain, battle every war that rages in his mind and soul to become the best version of himself. Evans is sure that through it all, he will be looking into the eyes of that special person, and the fight would be worth it.

Prayer for Salvation of Others🛐
Heavenly Father, I thank you that it is Your will for "all men to be saved and to come into the knowledge of the truth" (1 Tim 2:4). I also thank you that you are long suffering to us-ward not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance" ( 2 Peter 3:9). I bind and tie up Satan and all evil spirits in man (Put a name here if for specific individual) in the name of Jesus (Mt 16:19; Mt 12:29).
I loose and untie Satan's blinders which have " blinded the minds of them which do not believe" and I command the light of the glorious gospel of Christ to shine into to them to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ (2 Cor 4:4,6; Isaiah 45:12). I thank You as I am praying with strong desire out of urgent need that you send forth laborers into Your harvest (Mt 9:38) to preach the gospel (Rom 10:13-15).
I thank you that "the entrance of Your word gives light bringing understanding to those hearing the gospel (Psalm 119:130). I thank you that the Holy Spirit is convicting them "of the sin of not believing on Jesus as Lord and Savior" (John 16:19). I thank you for sending angels to continually minister to them and bring laborers across their path continually until they receive Jesus as Lord and be born again. ( Mt 26:53; Heb 1:14) I thank you for the Salvation of the multitudes and the great harvest of souls that are being born again these last days, in Jesus name, Amen

There's a part of me no one sees

There's a mystery deep inside
The constant struggling of who I am
And who I want to be

That you
Will finish what you started here in me
So I choose
To follow you and leave it all behind
I'm not giving up this time
