The voice of truth

I love Christian music. It is uplifting and has reassuring, positive messages.

As I was listening to this song the other day, I realized the message is exactly what I needed to hear. It will be the song I play daily whether in my mind or over the radio waves, to bring me peace and reassurance and remind me that when negativity tries to creep in, that instead, "I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth".

The voice of negativity and anxiety is the voice of lies and defeat. It tells me to be afraid. It tells me I'll never be able to change and I'll never overcome this. That all is lost. It is the giant in this song. It taunts me and reminds me of all the times I've tried and failed and that I'll never beat this. "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."

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
