Matthew 14:25-27 · “Voice of Truth” · Casting Crowns

NOT A QUOTE “Voice of Truth” Casting Crowns Matthew 14:25-27 Sing it as a testimony about which voice you believe. Of the two sentences the song's voice of truth speaks, one is Jesus' own in Matthew 14:27 and one is the writers' own. Knowing which is which is the whole job.

✓ The sentence the voice repeats most is the one Jesus actually says in this passage: do not be afraid, Matthew 14:27's own words

⚠ The voice's script mixes a canonical sentence with a composed one, and nothing in the song marks the seam. What repetition files under "Jesus said" will include both

Matthew 14:28-31 · “Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)” · Hillsong UNITED

NOT A QUOTE “Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)” Hillsong UNITED Matthew 14:28-31 Sing it as a prayer, not as the story. Nothing here is quoting, and the request it makes is fair. Just remember the passage ends with Peter sinking and being caught, not with Peter walking well.

✓ Never says it is quoting: no reference, no verse framing, nothing presented as scripture

⚠ The passage ends in sinking and rescue, with a question about doubt. A song about going deeper can leave that ending out of the picture
