The Ten Commandments

We will have no other gods before you We will worship you alone, adore you For you're a jealous God And we love you Lord So we obey and give our selves to be yours We won't take your name, O God, in vain But our purpose is to praise and proclaim And the Sabbath Day We'll keep it holy We'll assemble ourselves with your saints We will honor our mother and father So we will live long and our lives will prosper We will not kill We will not steal And we will not commit adultery We won't tell a lie against our neighbors We won't sow discord among our laborers Because we love them We will not covet The things that you have freely given to us And these are written in our hearts Not on tables of stones Through the Spirit of the Lord When he refreshes these dry bones He shows mercy to the children Yes, to thousands of them Those who love God above all else Are those who will obey Him And we will obey Him, we will obey Him, we will obey Him Because we love Him, we will obey Him We will love God above all
