Casting Crowns - Voice Of Truth
From the album 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!'
Chorus:
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.
Frankly speaking, i do feel like Gideon in the bible at times..
where i look at myself and say, "my clan is the weakest among the weakest, how is God going to use me?"
i have to admit that sometimes i do limit God's power unknowingly.. i look at my own limitations and weaknesses rather than looking to God for how He's going to work thru' me. For ultimately, all the glory should go back to God! :DD And this song really encourages so much.. indeed, God's voice should overwrite Satan's voice in our lives. (:
i want to live a life that is God-ward rather than inward! ^^
