The Lord God has profound truths
things secret to His majesty divine
for the Lord knows all things
in His eternal place, the living vine
This God has all divine authority
in heaven above and earth below
He is the one true ruler and King
all must bow before His throne, you know
To His own elect and saved people
He has revealed the truth of His own
for God, our heavenly father, loves us
as His son came our sins to atone
God's will is to reveal all His word
that His children know it, so to obey
this ever-living oracle brings life
to revive and sustain each day
Be thankful always to our God
praise Him for His eternal word
bo sure to obey this mighty Lord
take it in so your heart and soul stirred
(" The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.")
Deuteronomy 29: 29 (KJV)

'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,)

Cameron looked on wordlessly:
Many things he’d said carelessly,
The dumb are safe with made gestures
Not easy grudging their postures…
With words he’d just planted hatred
In the mind of Schuller Alfred,
Whom he said had gone to Rwanda
Only to come back with Panda…
First lured by her economy,
His hopes Great Business Colony;
In Rwanda no more anomy:
Who won’t try Brave Agronomy?
One should guess the whole picture:
The glib-tongued need a mute’s lecture,
Also, Eunuch’s Vasectomy
Or, best, God’s Deuteronomy.

DEUTERONOMY 11:1
I must love my Lord
For He's my God
Always
I should do what He tells me
For He's my God
As I should and shall keep His commandments
I should do what He tells me
Keep the laws of His words Jesus is the living word
As I should and shall keep His commandments
Always
Keep the laws of His words Jesus is the living word
I must love my Lord

Take a look into the fields
at any time and the grass is green
do you wonder how that has been
a little seed was planted not long ago
This has happened for your provision
your cattle needs feed so to grow
so to produce milk like our souls need truth
feeding upon Christ so that fruit will show
We want to be mature in the faith
so need to eat real meat from scripture
learn from Jesus and all He said
eating this word you learn to endure
God always satisfies when talking His food
for He knows what is for your best
although the taste may not be great
its effect is what will pass the test
So the lesson here is listen to God
take what He says and you'll benefit
eat often from His mighty bounty
nourish yourself well to never quit
("I will provide grass in the fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied." Deuteronomy 11:15)

My Friends, Hear the words of the Lord
He's on your side always and forever
have your heart open always to receive
words of love, perfect love to deliver
Be very strong and so courageous
hold on to God's words with a full grip
never let go of His precious promises
following Jesus is a wonderful trip
The Lord your God is ever near
He goes wherever you do go
you have His presence ever near
with His sword to fight your foe
God gives you a very special promise
He will not leave you or forsake you
words that bring hope to one's heart
for God is able to bless you so to do
( Deuteronomy 31: 6
''Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.”)

The word of God is our teacher
coming down just like the rain
watering our crop over it all
evenly spread never being in vain
God speaks from heaven above
seeking to distil it as the dew
through His authorative inspired word
drinking all His truth His people grew
We are like grass being so tender
receive the rain so gently spread
just like God’s living active truth
affecting our heart tenderly read
Showers pour upon the herbs
watering deeply down at it’s root
all for God’s glory to be shown
so it’ll sprout forth with good fruit
(‘May my teaching drop as the crain, my speech distil as the dew, like gentle rain upon the tender grass and like showers upon the herb.’ Deuteronomy ch. 32 v.2)

Field mouse woke up. Asleep for many years. It had grown a moustache and side burns. Oh how dreadful cried sally spider peering into the mouse house. How terribly unbecoming and unsuitable for holding the silver goblet at the halibut harlequin hall. Field mouse responded. In mind. In thoughts. Looking into the can that had been dropped into his hole by a two legged fiend. At least it made a good mirror. Although he was grateful that he was out at the time of delivery. The bars above. With the sun. Oh up there. No friend. Oh well. And proceeded to cut customise and shave. With other dropped prizes. Plus thefts. Spider grinned. And manicured herself. Silvery bed. Oh how wonderful.

Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God
giving Him reverence and holy fear
for He is God alone final and fully
the one we should always hold dear
Him thou shalt serve
seeking to do His will
with all your heart and soul
keeping faithfully true forever still
To Him shalt thou cleave
holding ever near to abide
making sure of His guidance
all the way to heaven's side
And swear by His name
that you never will deny
holding fast to it always
right until the day you die
Then to heaven, you'll go
to receive your eternal crown
singing praise to your God
echoing the heavenly sound
('Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.' )Deuteronomy ch. 10 v. 20 (KJV)
