The Ten Commandments

Moses led God’s children out to find the promised land And on the way he’d stop each day and look to Heaven and   Asked God for help as he could not withstand the task alone And then one day he looked away and thereby lay a stone God said write upon this stone these words I say to you   And if you all obey my rules I’ll see you safely through God opened Heaven’s door and then He guided Moses’ hands   And then He said go and tell my children these are my commands Go and climb that mountain Moses climb that mountain now and pray   Climb that mountain now and tell us what our Lord has had to say Thou shalt have no Gods before me is my great command And thou shalt not make any graven image by thy hand Thou shalt not take My name in vain if thou would guiltless be Remember thou to keep the Sabbath day alone for me   Honor thy father and thy mother and thou shalt not kill   Thou shalt not commit adultery and thou shalt not steal   Love thy neighbor as thyself and show thy neighbor peace   Covet not thy neighbor’s house nor anything that’s his   Go and climb that mountain Moses climb that mountain now and pray   Climb that mountain now and tell us what our Lord has had to say Moses showed these words of God to all the children then They pulled up stakes and headed out to find the promised land   That Moses had described to them and told of comforts there The children of oppression thought they’d not find anywhere But they were soon to part from him and push alone awhile For it was never meant for him to walk that final mile   The children cried if we must go on Moses without you   Then talk to God just one more time and tell us what to do   Go and climb that mountain Moses climb that mountain now and pray   Climb that mountain now and tell us what our Lord has had to say Thou shalt have no Gods before me is my great command And thou shalt not make any graven image by thy hand   Thou shalt not take My name in vain if thou would guiltless be Remember thou to keep the Sabbath day alone for me   Honor thy father and thy mother and thou shalt not kill Thou shalt not commit adultery and thou shalt not steal Love thy neighbor as thyself and show thy neighbor peace Covet not thy neighbor’s house nor anything that’s his Go and climb that mountain Moses climb that mountain now and pray   Climb that mountain now and tell us what our Lord has had to say
