Casting Crown's song Voice of Truth reveals great truths. In this world, there are numerous voices crying out to us. Voices of falsehood, voices of fear, voices speaking bad reports or voices of discouragement can all taint and taunt our minds and spirits. There remains one standard of truth - The Holy Bible - where we can turn to increase our faith and to shake off the voices of negativity and doubt that attempt to influence how we live out our lives.
Those waves are taunting me right now, reminding me of all the attempts to eradicate leukemia have failed. Yet this powerful Voice of Truth - God Almighty and His Holy Word - tells me an entirely different scenario and story for my future. Of all of these worldly voices calling out to me with dire predictions and diagnoses, I will choose to believe His Word.
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
