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 adult'ry 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 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...

Thou shalt have no Gods before me...
