(Verse 1)
Ten lines etched in stone, a mountain"s mighty call,
A whisper through the ages, standing strong and tall.
"No other gods before me," the first command rings true,
A single Lord, a faithful heart, in all that we pursue.
(Verse 2)
"No idols carved or fashioned," the second voice proclaims,
No earthly things to worship, no false and empty flames.
"God"s name in vain don"t utter," the third command we hear,
Respect His holy presence, hold His sacred name so dear.
(Chorus)
From Sinai"s peak, a thunderous decree,
The commandments given, for you and for me.
A path of righteousness, a guiding, holy light,
To walk in God"s true favor, and make our spirits bright.
(Verse 3)
"Remember Sabbath"s sacred rest," the fourth command imparts,
A day of contemplation, to mend our weary hearts.
"Honor your father, mother," the fifth command"s embrace,
Respect the ones who nurtured, with love and gentle grace
(Verse 4)
"No murder shall you commit," the sixth, a solemn plea,
To cherish every life, in all humanity.
"No adultery," the seventh, a bond of trust so deep,
To keep our hearts and spirits, the promises we keep.
(Verse 5)
"No stealing shall you practice," the eighth command"s refrain,
To earn our daily bread, with honest, righteous gain.
"No false witness against neighbor," the ninth command"s decree,
To speak the truth with kindness, for all the world to see.
(Verse 6)
"No coveting your neighbor"s goods," the tenth, a gentle guide,
To find contentment in our lot, with humble, thankful stride.
These ten commandments given, a covenant so grand,
A roadmap to salvation, held within God"s hand.
(Outro)
So let these words inspire us, to live a life that"s true,
And follow in God"s footsteps, in all that we pursue.
A legacy of goodness, a heart that"s pure and free,
The ten commandments echoed, for all eternity.
