Ambition's chronicles record
how closest kin compete to own,
by strife of stratagem and sword,
exclusive eminence of throne.
But see how God's decisive grace
empowers everyone to be,
in spite of class or realm or race,
his own reflected royalty.
Accept this gift, obey this call,
let bolder penetration teach
the utter kingliness of all,
the present majesty of each.
