I needed to hear these words

'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 armour,

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 looking 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.'
