Voice of Truth

Sometimes, it feels like you're facing the giant, walking out on the waves. And you hear the giants taunting. Yet you know by faith that the stone is just the right size to put the giant on the ground. And that the crashing waves will support you. Jesus is holding out His hand.

I think that's where we are. Listening to the radio this morning, this song came on. I think that's exactly where we are. And my previous post that I removed-- which I don't do very regularly-- spoke to this, but apparently not very well. Those of you that wrote to me to apologize for your comment, please know that I was not offended by any of the comments made by people who identified themselves, and the one that did not identify yourself, well-- I guess you're the giant. I removed the post simply because so many commented in a way which I realized that my post alluded to RR being an issue, or adoptive parents. And both are far from the truth. So rather than allow something to stay up which suggests something with those areas, I chose to remove it and try again :)

And if that first paragraph didn't mean so much to you, here are the lyrics to the Casting Crown song, Voice of Truth. And even better yet, a link to listen :) Be blessed!

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
