If Thou Love Me
If Thou Love Me
I am Yahweh your Elohim
Out of bondage brought I thee
Thou shalt have no other gods
No idols before me
Thou shalt not make any image
My jealousy would it bring
Of Heaven above, Earth below
No likeness of anything
Thou shalt not speak of me
In such a way which is vain
For he shall not be guiltless
Who thus violates my name
Remember the Sabbath day
This day I set apart and blessed
In six days made I the earth
On the seventh, in me you shall rest
Honor father and mother
And you shall not kill
Don't commit adultery
What is not yours, do not steal
Thou shall not bear false witness
Against brother and neighbor
Speak only what is truth
Say no less, say no more
Covet not of your neighbor
This is the last of the ten
Thou shall not long for
What pertains to other men
These are all my commandments
And the most important part
To love one another
And me with all your heart
