Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

God's Commandments Do Us Good

They are some things that are not good
being harmful sinful to lead us away
but God has given us His famous ten
commandments to lead us in the true way

God is to be our God and only Him
with no graven image to bow to
taken never in vain the Lord's name
keeping the Sabbath holy and true

Our father and mother we must honour
never to enter our minds and thoughts to kill
be faithful to one's love not seeking another
never to steal this truly being God's will

Make sure no lie comes from your mouth
have no covetous spirit in you ever at all
these are God's commandments for our good
so make sure to be obedient and not to fall

Learn to fear God with due reverence
this your duty showing love for your Lord
bowing heart and soul to Him alone
His blessings will come your way in accord

(Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind." Ecclesiastes 12:13)
