The Contract

The Contract

For I am the Lord,  you are born into my land.  
For I am the Lord, I'll covenant you and protect 
you with an open mind and soft hand. 
For I  am the shepherd, and you are my lamb. 
If you follow me I will protect you from the sins of man.

For I am your lamb, I praise you with one voice, 
and I raise my hands in glorious honor for you are my father.  
For I am your lamb, 
I will tell your story in great detail and tremendous glory.

For I am your father,
I will show you love and compassion forever, 
for I am your child, 
I promise to follow your commandments to the letter forever..
