The college football or basketball fight songs have existed for over a century. The purpose is to rouse the crowd during the game so they cheer for their team. The winningest program in college football, Michigan’s “The Victors,” perfectly represents the maize and blue. It was written by a student in 1898 and is played every time the Wolverines score or make a significant defensive play. It became so popular that former President Gerald Ford requested it to accompany his funeral procession at the capitol.

Revelation 15 – Sing

Another song that is sung (Revelation 15:3-4) by the glorified saints before the throne is an anthem of praise to God rather than a fight song. The ultimate purpose of God’s wrath is to uphold His holy, righteous character. This demands that He judge sinners. It is God’s holy nature, soon to be revealed in judgment against their persecutors, that evokes this song from the redeemed. The song of Moses comes from the Old Testament and is from the time of the Exodus. After his people were safe across the Red Sea, the Israelites sang a song of praise to God for their deliverance.

Remembering that these saints sang songs proclaiming God’s glory, sovereignty, justice, holiness, and rightlessness is important. Each of these attributes represents God. He has the right to judge the evil in the world because He created it to reflect His glory. He is on a mission to redeem the world to its original glory, which couldn’t happen without destroying the evil that had broken it.
