TEN COMMANDMENT SONG

Tune: Reuben, Reuben, I've Been Thinking

First command God gave his people,

Have no other gods before me

Not a game boy or an XBOX,

Nothing that would take My place.

Second command God gave his people,

Do not make a graven image,

Not an image or a likeness,

To worship in My place.

Third command God gave His people

Do not take my name in vain

When you’re mad or even glad,

Be careful how you use My name.

Fourth command God gave His people,

Keep the Sabbath day for me,

Worship, sing, and go to church,

Then pray and read My Holy Word.

Fifth command God gave His people,

We should honor every parent,

God has promised when we honor,

Our lives will be long here on earth.

Sixth command God gave His people,

Never, never take a life,

God will judge us if we murder,

Lives are precious in His sight.

Seventh command God gave His people,

Love your husband or your wife,

God will help us keep the harmony,

In our homes and families.

Eighth command God gave His people,

Do not steal a single thing.

Not a penny or a candy bar,

All our needs He will provide.

Ninth command God gave His people,

Never tell a single lie,

On our friends or even neighbors,

Just be honest and be kind.

Tenth command God gave His people,

Don't not jealous - it is sin,

Just be thankful what God gave you,

And for His provision, too.
