The Voice of Truth
Voice of Truth
Casting Crowns
Oh,what I would do to havethe kind of faith it takes To climb out of this boat I'm in Onto the crashing wavesTo step out of my comfort zoneInto the realm of the unknown Where Jesus is, And he's holding out his handBut the waves are calling out my name and they laugh at meReminding me of all the times I've tried before and failedThe waves they keep on telling me time and time again"Boy, you'll never win, You you'll never winBut the Voice of truth tells me a different storythe 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 meI will choose to listen and believe the Voice of truthOh, what I would do to have the kind of strength it takesTo stand before a giant with just a sling and a stoneSurrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors shaking in their armorWishing they'd have had the strength to standBut the giant's calling out my name and he laughs at meReminding me of all the times I've tried before and failedThe 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 storythe 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 meI will choose to listen and believe the Voice of truthBut the stone was just the right sizeto put the giant on the groundand the waves they don't seem so highfrom on top of them looking downI will soar with the wings of eagleswhen I stop and listen to the sound of Jesussinging over meBut 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 truthI will listen and believeI will listen and believe the Voice of truthI will listen and believe 'Cause Jesus you are the Voice of truthAnd I will listen to you.. oh you are the Voice of truth

Thank you for sending this. The 2nd and 3rd paragraphs really spoke to me. I am stuck in the place the 2nd paragraph speaks of and am inspired with hope because of what is said in the 3rd paragraph. It gives me hope. Peace to you my friend. Love, Linda
This is quite beautiful and inspirational. I see the monster cancer as the giant, and the waves as the constant trials and tribulations each patient and their loved ones face as they struggle to battle this untiring, stubborn and resilient foe. As the future unfolds our hope is that others who face the monster will have the spirit AND the tools to defeat it.
Thanks for sharing that - Gloria
What a wonderful reminder of the ONE we are supposed to be listening to. So many things cry out to us in this world, but God knows who we are and what we need the most. Thank you for posting this!
ah yes, I have gone back to this song many times...and as sad as it is in parts, it is also so encouraging as we remember the ONE who is the author and finisher of our lives...be blessed today...hugs, Jill
