Casting Crowns - Fear

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,
You'll never win."
Oh, what I would do
To have the kind of strength it takes
To stand before a giant
With just a sling and 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,
You'll never win."
But the stone was just the right size
To take the giant down
And the waves don't seem so high
When I'm standing on top of them looking down
And I'd soar with the wings of eagles
If I could just ignore the sound
Of the waves and the giants,
The waves and the giants in my mind
Lord, you've not given me a spirit of fear
But of power and of love,
And of a sound mind
So from now on,
I won't let the tempter's lies
Turn my eyes away from the prize
That you have set before me.
That you have set before me.

actually, to the people who are correcting the poster, this is a song called fear. and yes, it's voice of truth without the chorus. i like the minimalism of this version.

[121211przemo]

i love that...

@MrMeatball1804 be safe! and get home to your wife safe..and always keep christ in your heart no matter how hard things get :)

I thought this song was called 'The Voice of Truth'

[gwenny911]

This song is beautifully true. Lord grant me the courage to make that first leap of faith.

...I... am... INSPIRED!

[MrDivineHand]

hard for me to turn from the world and its ways but i once knew how to cast out my fear and i tell you folks its possible to ride the waves and slay the giant cuz love and god are that strong power for living and positive affirmation gives so much strenght with a little faith one can move a mountain maybe one day i will turn back to him i am chosen maybe not but love and dwelling in goodness and god are the key have hope

[BeingHannah923]

is this an old version of voice of truth???

[majorchubber]

mr meatball, i am so encouraged to hear that. I'm praying for you right now

[MrMeatball1804]

I think about my whole life and realized i was scared to get intouch with God now i am ready too . I love my wife and she is the one who introduced this group to me. I am trying to learn and follow christ while i am here on deployment.
