The Voice of Truth

Thinking of Beulah Reed and her family today, facing some difficult circumstances. My prayers are with you. The Voice of Truth by Casting Crowns. Open it up in a new window and listen while you read.

Oh what I would do to have
The kind of faith it takes
To climb out of this boat I'm in
Onto the crashing waves
To step out of my comfort zone
Into the realm of the unknown
where Jesus is
And He's holding out His hand
But the waves are calling out my name
And they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times
I've tried before and failed
The waves they keep on telling me
Time and time again.

"Boy, you'll never win!" "You'll never win!"

But the voice of truth tells me a different story

The voice of truth says, "Do not be afraid!"

The voice of truth says, "This is for My glory."

Out of all the voices calling out to me

I will choose to listen and believe

the voice of truth.

Oh what I would do to have the kind of strength it takes to stand before a giant with just a sling and a stone. Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors, shaking in their armor, wishing they'd have had the strength to stand.
But the giant's calling out my name and he laughs at me. Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed. The giant keeps on telling me - Time and time again.

"Boy you'll never win!""You'll never win!"

But the stone was just the right size to put the giant on the ground. And the waves, they don't seem so high from on top of them lookin' down. I will soar with the wings of eagles when I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus singing over me,

I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth.
