Same Song, Different Response

I like to listen to worship music when I am getting ready in the morning doing my hair and makeup (on the days I actually put it on..) and the most amazing thing happened this week.  I was listening to my Casting Crowns cd that I have listened to so many times and I got to the song called Voice of Truth and I had a totally different response to the song compared to listening to it before!  The song is definitely my theme song from my trip to TN.  I feel like I lived the song and so it touched my heart so strongly this time I heard it.  Here are the words:

Voice of 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
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!"

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 stone was just the right size
To put the giant on the ground
And the waves they don't seem so high
From the 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

I love this song with a passion!  The kids must think I am nutts..I have been playing it pretty loud in the car and singing at the top of my lungs.  Jesus is waiting for us with an outstretched arm.  He wants to carry us out of our comfort zones and show us how to walk on water.  He wants to do mighty things through us.  We are weak and He is strong.  We must rely on Him!
