Dare I Go In?

Dare I go in this Giver-land today?
Shift focus to where work is done for pay?
Where people live in this society,
To walk their paths as mine so I can see?

That's scary, Lord, not just from history,
But from my present walk in here with Thee;
A slippery slope, with pitfalls, snares, and briars;
At stake? My soul. The danger? My desires.

To walk this walk, it nervous makes me here,
Where cash is King and debt brings up the rear;
I've walked this walk in You up till this point,
But now my focus shifts, as You anoint –

This task and me to do exclusively
What I'd let go, and set aside for Thee;
Now you say, “Stu, it's time to pick it up,
And walk with me, where going can get rough.

“Before the road can be made smooth once more,
You need to walk with others through that door;
Experience their world and run with them,
Then you will see the way back home again.

“It does not matter what is done for cash,
Impromptu-like, move on when people ask;
Push in and on the walls you find each day;
There's just one rule – do nothing without pay.

“For that's the key to this society;
It's an exchange – it's ‘all for cash’ – you'll see
But they don't get how all this works in Me,
As you walk on, much clearer that will be.

You cannot focus on too many things,
So cash it is and what to you it brings;
Just focus there, the rest will come along
And roll with it, Incorporate in Song.”

Lord that reminds me of six years ago
When you said, “Stu, there's work in there you know
Which you can do – go now – don't hesitate”
But wait I did – and lost when I was late.

“That's okay, Stu, you've learned a lot since then;
’Twill be okay, you'll lose some now and then,
But that's okay, no matter where you go
It's all one piece, and time will prove it so.

“Drill down, My son, I've cut you slack to go;
You're free to fail, succeed, – it's just to show
You what you need to get the missing piece;
The rest is trash, as you My folk release.

“You set it by, now disconnected are;
That's good, you'll see more clearly now by far;
Just don't attach once more – let it flow through;
Plug holes of course, with costs don't be a fool.

“In me you have resources they don't know;
But as they watch you live, it soon will show –
You've got an ace which they can have as well,
Which lets you thrive in economic hell.

“It's time to save – and cash accumulate;
Build up your stash, like light – capacitate
And then release, with ROI in mind;
Get good returns, percentage – cash not kind.

“For cash is King in this society –
Folks can relate when they some money see;
The other way won't work for most these days –
They cannot see unless it money pays.

Okay my Lord, let's go, I'll do your task;
I'll do my best to find the piece you ask –
It scares “Be-Jesus” out – but that's not bad,
For that's Your role in me – for that I'm glad.
