Oh what I would do to have 00:22

The kind of faith it takes 00:26

To climb out of this boat I'm in 00:28

Onto the crashing waves 00:30

To step out of my comfort zone 00:34

Into the realm of the unknown where Jesus is 00:37

And He's holding out His hand 00:42

But the waves are calling out my name 00:46

The Voice of Truth says, "Do not be afraid!" 01:17

And the Voice of Truth says, "This is for My glory" 01:23

Out of all the voices calling out to me 01:29

I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of Truth 01:34

Oh what I would do to have 01:52

The kind of strength it takes 01:54

To stand before a giant 01:56

With just a sling and a stone 01:59

Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors 02:03

Shaking in their armor 02:06

Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand 02:11

But the giant's calling out my name 02:14

And he laughs at me 02:17

Reminding me of all the times 02:20

I've tried before and failed 02:23

The giant keeps on telling me 02:26

But the stone was just the right size 03:32

To put the giant on the ground 03:39

And the waves they don't seem so high 03:40

On top of them lookin' down 03:41

I will soar with the wings of eagles 03:42

When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus 03:42

Singing over me 03:43

But the Voice of Truth tells me a different story 03:44

The Voice of Truth says, "Do not be afraid!" 03:45

Lyrics:

[English]

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 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

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

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 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, you are
