Poem: All-In

With the Divine Dealer
My bet is all-in
All my eggs in His basket
Nowhere else to begin

My gifts will fail me
And no more tricks up my sleeve
Trusting in You
There is no plan B

In one stock alone
All my faith to invest
The payout left to God
This is my test

So to the highest diving board
With faith I climb
The view from the top
Brings shivers down my spine

“But why jump from the highest-dive?”
Someone might say
“When lower diving boards
Give a much safer way?”

Because God wants everything
And everything He must own
For our hearts to be His
And to worship Him alone

True freedom is found
When we give God our all
Make way here I come
“Cannonball!”
