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
Every time i listen to this song, i'd be reminded of the youth retreat i had this year. The mere weeks before i lost everything. Yet ever since i've regained it all from the months of pure darkness, i've always been careful with each step i make. And today i finally realised, that the reason for the fall before, was my persistence in ignoring God's call, His voice and His promptings.
Yet this isn't the point of today's post. The point however, is to remind those in need right now, that you will definitely be able to stand up once again. No matter how much you think you cant, no matter how much you feel like life would never turn around for the better, the voice of truth, would definitely tell you a different story. And of course this is not just for the believers of Christ. I've had many close friends feeling down and just feeling exhausted recently. Believers and non-believers alike. And even though this video and song would relate much more to believers, non-believers, take this as an encouragement from me. Pull yourself together, get back up on your feet, and enjoy life like you did once again. Stay strong :)
