The Voice of Truth

Hey, everyone!

It's finals week! Hence, I don't have a whole lot of spare thought for eloquent writing. But the main thing that's been on my mind today is the concept of Satan being a huge, jerk, liar, and God's voice being the only real truth! Also, I've been chewing on the importance of actually setting aside time to LISTEN for God's voice. The things that others say about us (or to us) aren't necessarily truth. Things that people say that are hurtful and mean spirited are, I think, often Satan's way of wreaking havoc and destruction in our hearts and lives. This is one of my favorite songs, and really, it always has been. It seems silly that it took until today for it to really sink in that God's voice is the only one that I have any business paying attention to. I encourage you to read the words and let it sink in that God loves you and speaks only truth into your life. Listen. We cannot expect to hear God if we're walking around listening to the voices around us and not giving time to listen to His as well.

"If I don't take time to listen to God, I WON'T HEAR GOD." -- Jacob Norwood

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 you'll never win."

But the voice of Truth tells me a different story
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
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

But the Voice of truth tells me a different story
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
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of Truth

I will 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
And I will listen to you...Oh, you are the voice of Truth.
