God's Requirement Of His People - Deuteronomy 10: 12
'And now Israel', so let's pay attention
for God calls His people to listen
with God's authority comes His word
everything's important for nothing is missing
His first requirement is to fear the Lord
live with holy reverence to God alone
be holy yourself obeying His word
listen well for He is your chief cornerstone
Next, learn to walk in all His ways
this means all that God says to do
take heed to obey Him at all times
be fully committed to God as brand-new
Loving God is so essential
learn well all He's done for you
see afresh how Jesus died in your place
taking your sin at the cross the Bible says
Finally, serve God with all you have
giving your full heart and soul
use your God-given gifts for Him alone
making His pleasure your heavenly goal
(“And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul,)
Deuteronomy 10: 12 (ESV)
