Poem written by Tim Arnott following Ben Goodman’s Sunday morning message on 8th March 2018
Risky Living
I'm calling you to a life of risky living
It's my desire and purpose - my word from heaven
And I mean all of your life all your living and giving
Every breath that you breath your absolute everything
For I've heard your heart beat to become more like my Son
I've heard your heart cry for my kingdom to come
And I've seen your hands so open to me
In adoration and worship and surrender so deep
And I know all about the concerns of your heart
I've got you I hold you and you're set apart
Not aloof, out of touch in the world where you live
But a vessel of my presence with my love to give
Strength rises within you as you gaze upon me
I'm growing within you a faith that can see
Treasures of darkness
Hidden gems of this world
As you delight in me and spend time in my word
Now there's a call on your life
And it comes from the throne room of heaven
Because you've chosen this pathway- a life of risky living
All of heaven is open- my treasure store is full
And as you draw upon me my power will fall
You may not understand all the detail of my ways
But as you choose to partner with me day by day
As you choose to step out as my hands and my feet
My ears are attentive - your heart cry I'll meet
For your choosing to become just like my Son
Walking in sonship and seeing my kingdom come
And my joy and my peace will rise up in your heart
As my army advances, holy, set apart.
Risky living. Risky giving. With eyes full of faith With great boldness and courage go forth in my name Lift me high. Shout it loud. My glorious name As you step out in my power and see my kingdom come.
