Because they're peasants, and peasants are controlled by a lord! It's just another way the church attempts to control people, by saying that he said to listen to what they say, so people would do what the church told them to do.
This is exactly how true Christians see themselves in relationship to God. He has purchased them (Acts 20:28) and adopted them (Romans 8:15); He has made them His own, which is cause for great rejoicing (1 Peter 1:3-6).
Far from being "peasants controlled by a lord," Christians are "a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people" (1 Peter 2:9). Praising God as Lord has nothing to do with "church attempts to control people." It has everything to do with acknowledging a right relationship with the Almighty.
