Fill er Up!

Snippet

Some time ago I read the story of Dwayne and Bonnie Wheat, whose lives changed forever on February 22, 1991, when a police office awoke them in the early hours with the tragic news that their daughter, Charla, had been murdered.  Bonnie later testified that it was the power of memorized scripture that kept her from going insane during the days that followed.  "In those days I could not read the bible and focus on it long enough to for it to make sense,"  she said, "but it was God's word that was already in my heart that ministered to me.  I am so thankful for that, it was things like, 'Be still and know that I am God,' and 'Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee. . .'  God used those scriptures to show me that we just had to be still and let God be God."  (Dan Marting, "Pastor, Wife Share story of their Daughters Murder."  Baptist Press (October 15, 1988))

Voice of Truth Casting Crowns

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 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

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
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
I will choose to listen and believe

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...

Sentence Prayer

Jesus

To whom shall we go?

You have words of eternal life,

and we have believed and have come to know

that You are the Holy One of God.

Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ,

King of endless glory.  Amen!
