"If God is sovereign, then his lordship must extend over all of life, and it cannot be restricted to the walls of the church or within the Christian orbit." Abraham Kuyper Common Grace 1.1.

Just deserts

Help me to be humble
Even as you are humble

Didn't you deserve a mansion not a stable
Didn't you deserve a stallion not a donkey
Didn't you deserve loyalty rather then betrayal
Didn't you deserve a king-sized bed rather than a stone to put your head

And yet you chose to be one of us
To laugh and feast,
To weep and wait
To live and die, to rise again

Not a deserved life but a served one.

Help me to live like you
Help me to serve as you deserve
