Out on a limb

Ever been there?

Out on a limb?

Done something crazy?

All on a whim

Have you ever felt the calling?

Have you ever felt the need?

To do that which you’ve

Never even thought to heed?

Does the excitement get you?

Is it the newness: the adventuring?

Are you scared of heights?

Did you climb too high?

Can you feel the danger?

Do you wonder how you tried?

What caused you to jump out?

What gave you the strength?

To dare to do the impossible

To step up to the very brink

Is it vertigo to look down?

Is it adrenalin to feel?

Your heart beating quickly

As your head bemoans your fate

Then as you reach that pinnacle

As you look down from lofty heights

Does the magnificence enthral you?

Does the view from far above?

Enable you to feel free

Enable you to finally see

That though the journey was amazing

Though the fears you conquered show

How much beauty is to be garnered

Just by getting up and letting go?

In trusting all to Jesus

In surrendering all your fears

Have you seen the possibility?

Of living life like Christ

When climbing Jacob’s ladder

You finally discover…

That blessed strength within!
