Voice Of Truth

Those of you who know me well will smile at the fact that I had a GOOD cry today...in my van...outside the Grundy County courthouse...while listening to this song.

I love these lyrics. The Lord literally poured them into my heart today when I needed them most.

Voice of Truth
By Casting Crowns

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!"
And 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 Voice of truth tells me a different story,
The Voice of truth says "Do not be afraid!"
And 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

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 looking down.
I will soar with the wings of eagles
when I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
singing in all of me!

But the Voice of truth tells me a different story ,
The Voice of truth says "Do not be afraid!"
And 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
I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of truth.
