So I have been thinking about the sing the voice of truth by casting crowns. One time I went to a casting crowns concert. Mark Hall the lead singer said that when he was younger he had dyslexia. Thats one reason he wrote this song. Because he constantly battled dyslexia everyday. For him that was his giant. He would always keep trying. Satan tried to bring him down so much but the truth conquers all lies. In the second verse where is says oh what i would do to have to stand before a giant surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors wishing they would have had the strength to stand. This could be taken into many accounts. I will give you a couple. The giants this song is referring to isnt literally a giant. Its hardships and things you encounter in life. Things that you may think are much bigger than you things that may seem like they are hard to overcome. They are overcomable. Then the surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors could be taken different ways as well. The warriors could be angels cheering you on. the wishing they had the strength to stand before the giant could mean that they wanted you to have that streangth so they are cheering you on instead. It could also mean demons or satans angels. Because when it comes to God Satan and all his angels are whimps. They probally thought that I wish I could stand before my giant instead im stuck here with my master. THE MASTER THAT THEY CHOSE! Again this song is about battling lies standing up for things that try to come against you and stepping out of your comfort zone. Its only when you are out of your comfort zone that you begin to do great things.
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 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 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
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
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 (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 truth
I will listen and believe
I will listen and believe the Voice of truth
I will listen and believe
'Cause Jesus you are the Voice of truth
And I will listen to you.. oh you are the Voice of truth
