"Voice of Truth"

"The 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 lookin' down
I will soar with the wings of eagles
When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
Singing over 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(calling out to me)
I will choose to listen and believe(I will choose to listen and believe)
I will choose to listen and believe
The Voice of Truth

Hey Steph, that's a really cool song! It reminds me of WPC cause in one of the workshops I went to they talked about Peter and walking on water and stepping out of you comfort zone to do things you didn't think you could. Man, I wanna be like Peter and be so focused on God that I'll walk on the water for him...except I'd like to skip the whole part about losing focus and falling. So if anyone can arrange that it would be great.

[Stephani]

God can arrange it, of course! Just gotta ask Him! ;D

Maybe, just maybe, God knows that our flesh is weak, and we will stumble and we will fall. He was there for Peter when he did loose sight of Him and He is there for us as well. Thank goodness He's our lifevest as well.

[Stephani]

He's the most durable life vest of them all. He will never spring a leak, and always keep us afloat!

[Laurentius]

just wanna let ya'll know my sister Jenny likes that song. So do I.
And for Peter-walking-in-water story, what stands out to me is that Jesus was there for Him when Peter was sinking.... Last night I was praying to God I trembled just thinking in how unworthy I'd feel if Jesus touch me with his hands. You may say why? Because His holiness makes me realize I am a misfit. But then I remember his words: let not your heart be trouble, for I had overcome the world! Love u Jesus!!
