This song is one that I've performed in my theatre group, and it's always had a special meaning for me. Throughout the video, there are a number of different "voices of truth," because they all have their moments at different times in HTTYD.
This video is dedicated to my Dearest Friend, from whom I have a quote at the bottom of my about page. Thank you for being the voice of truth in my life and always guiding me back to the Lord through my mistakes and difficulties. (And ironically right as I was finishing posting this you called me for help with your physics homework :)

Song: Voice of Truth by Casting Crowns
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
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
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 the Voice of Truth
