I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of Truth

Voice of Truth
by John Mark Hall and Steven Curtis Chapman

This song has ministered to me more times than I could ever count. 

Lies can fill your head.   People can lie and lie and lie to you and this fills your head.  

You can know what the truth is, but they have lied so much and so long and loud that your head is so full of lies that the truth is muffled.  The truth is muted.  The truth is morfed into not the truth any more.

But the Voice of Truth!  God is Truth!  He will tell you the Truth!

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 telling me
Time and time again, 'Boy, you'll never win!'
"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 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 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

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...

...Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe
I will listen and believe the voice of truth...

...I will listen and believe
Cause Jesus You are the Voice of Truth.

"Do you not know? 
Have you not heard? 
The Everlasting God,
the LORD,
the Creator of the ends of the earth
does not become weary or tired. 
His understanding is inscrutable. 
He gives strength to the weary,
and to him who lacks might He increases power. 
Though youths grow weary and tired,
and vigorous young men stumble badly,
Yet those who wait for the LORD
Will gain new strength; 
They will mount up with wings like eagles,
They will run and not get tired,
They will walk and not become weary."
Isaiah 40:28-31

All because of God  :oD
