Much Received, Much Required

"Unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more" (Luke 12:48).

To those who have been given much,
From each of them is much required.
Our stewardship from God is such,
For all the blessings we've acquired.

Surely there's a consequence
For all the truth we have received
That should inspire diligence
In all of us who have believed.

Teach us, Lord, to live in view
Of our accountability,
For all You've done and yet will do
To give us life abundantly.
