Showing God Like Reverence - Deuteronomy 5: 29, 6: 2, 8: 6, 10:12

God looks for real humble people
ones who have deep, reverential hearts
willing to always be obedient
so God would bless them in no small part

The commandments of God are holy and true
keeping them is for our benefit and good
so all our generations would be blessed
all their days when rightly understood

God's discipline is to teach His truth
so you obey all His sayings as you walk
in God's ways, fearfully in reverence
forever learning to walk in godly talk

The requirements of God are fourfold
to love and serve Him in holy fear
walking close by the Lord every day
with a full heart and soul all your years

God is a God rightly to be praised
bowing before Him in reverential fear
bringing our love imperfect as it is
to the lover of our soul who is ever near
