Day 20: Right Time, Right Song


Tonight driving home, I switched on K-Love to find a little encouragement and a reminder that no matter what situation you may find yourself in, you can be encouraged knowing that God is faithful, he is our rock when we find ourselves on the sand. 

After a few songs my ears soon perked up hearing this song from Casting Crowns. I decided to share these lyrics for anyone else finding themselves in their own boat surrounded by crashing waves or facing their very own giant. 

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
To 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!'

But the voice of truth tells me a different story
And the voice of truth says "Do not be afraid!"
And 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 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!"

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 looking 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
