The Voice of Truth

There is a song by Casting Crowns that Jeff and I listened to over and over when we were going through IVF. I still tear up when I hear the song. I thought about it again today because I am watching "Facing the Giants" and it is one of the theme songs. When Jeff and I listened to the song it inspired us with our infertility battles that no matter what trials we faced...we would listen to the voice of truth or God.(We had never seen the movie) The crazy thing is that the movie is not only about the football team, but it is also about going through infertility and the blessing of having children!!! When you have the time you should listen to it. I will post the words below and a link on youtube. Love you all

The Voice of Truth
Oh,what I would do to havethe kind of faith it takes To climb out of this boat I'm in Onto the crashing wavesTo step out of my comfort zoneInto the realm of the unknown Where Jesus is, And he's holding out his handBut the waves are calling out my name and they laugh at meReminding me of all the times I've tried before and failedThe waves they keep 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 storythe 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 meI will choose to listen and believe the voice of truthOh, what I would do to have the kind of strength it takesTo stand before a giant with just a sling and a stoneSurrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors shaking in their armorWishing they'd have had the strength to standBut the giant's calling out my name and he laughs at meReminding me of all the times I've tried before and failedThe 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 storythe 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 meI will choose to listen and believe the voice of truthBut the stone was just the right sizeto put the giant on the groundand the waves they don't seem so highfrom on top of them looking downI will soar with the wings of eagleswhen I stop and listen to the sound of Jesussinging over meBut 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 (calling out to me)I will choose to listen and believe (I will choose to listen and believe)I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truthI will listen and believeI will listen and believe the voice of truthI will listen and believe 'Cause Jesus you are the voice of truthAnd I will listen to you.. oh you are
