The Voice of Truth

Wow, what a weekend! Friday night concert, Sat. lunch Thanksgiving, Sat afternoon birthday party, Sunday church and Sunday afternoon hockey game. (YEAH, Duncan scored three goals!)
I am exhausted.
But I have to share my Friday night concert experience.
We went to see Steven Curtis Champman and Casting Crowns. We love both and felt it would be great fun. We got meet and greet passes for after the show. I want to thank SCC for taking time to talk and take pictures with us again. He is always so gracious with his fans. The show was wonderful, but calling it a concert doesn't do it justice. It was a worship experience.
There was much adoption discussion with SCC because of his own adoption experiences. He also talked a lot of his family.
Mark with Casting Crowns talked a lot about Dyslexia and ADD and how he was still able to be used the in the way that God wanted. That hit home as well.
But the song, the Voice of Truth reduced me to tears as it spoke so well of my current feelings.
So I wanted to share a little of that song here.
If you get the chance you need to attend this concert when it visits your town. You will be blessed and have a great time as well.

The 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!"
Chorus: But the voice of truth tells me a different story
The voice of truth says, "Do not be afraid!
"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 on 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
