Big Dreaming

One time they say "dream big" Next they say "lower your expectations" A lush fig tree without a fig Christ cursed to dry for its waste of season For an ignoble vessel can rise to be noble Therefore gratitude must not trick us to settle for less For there is grace to grace and portions do double And your heart yearns for more if you would truly confess Isn't it God who makes men and nations great? Why deceive me into stagnation in the name of contentedness When God assures destiny, you insure against fate How shall we occupy till He comes with this helplessness In these ways are the children of the world wiser Wasn't the master impressed by his servant's shrewdness If my duties I abscond and with my substance I be a miser Though I squander not, I fail at faithfulness Therefore we hope for much and expect to be astounded It is written of exceedingly abundantly above imagination To bequeath, be renown, be exalted and founded And your establishment be the hallmark of a generation K. Muitherero.
