I was listening to this song in the car today. As I listened to it for what is likely the 100th time or more, it dawned on me what voice I have been listening to for the past several years. *FEAR*
After that revelation, I listened to the song over and over really taking in the lyrics. I have nothing to fear. His voice has been calling to me but the fear had drowned it out. If my marriage fails, I will be ok. Fear has held me back from making some real changes in my life for quite some time. It struck me that many BS's react out of fear. It is time to calm the sound of fear in our heads and listen to the quiet voice inside. The 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!"
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
