Dancing in the Boat...

I want to state, that even though Peter took his eyes of Jesus and started to sink, Peter still had a lot of courage. He still took that first step, and climbed out of the boat. Jesus was there to save him, and so He is for me as well. I'm rocking the boat, watching the water come closer and closer, and I'm excited and a little fearful at the same time. I admit straight up that the thought of sinking (or failure) really weighs on my mind. I hope this song speaks to you as it does me!

It's called "Voice of Truth" by the Casting Crowns
Here's a link to a video,  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcuiuIwtpa4

Here follows the lyrics.

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
To 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
And 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 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

 

 

Have a blessed day!
