Words and Music by Mary Rice Hopkins
From “Dancing in the Desert” album. Click HERE to order
Moses went up to the mountaintop where God spoke to Him
God said I will not stop till I give you my best ten
If you obey these 10 ways, commandments for your life
Then you will know wherever you go you’ll know wrong from right
Chorus:
He said, “I am the Lord your God, have no other God but me”
He said, “I am the Lord your God, have no other God but me”
So Moses went up to the mountaintop he heard commandment two
Don’t have any idols or anything that you bow to
Number three says never abuse or misuse the name of the Lord
His name should be worshiped, praised and adored
(Chorus)
Moses went up to the mountaintop he heard number four
Remember the Sabbath day, and keep it for the Lord
Obey your mom obey your dad, try to get along
While you’re alive number five will help you grow up strong
(Chorus)
Number six says never kill, never ever take a life
Seven can be heaven for a faithful man and wife
Number eight says do not take or steal anything
Number nine says tell the truth cause honesty will remain
(Chorus)
Number ten can lead to sin, it’s called jealousy
Never want what isn’t yours, never ever envy
If you obey these ten ways commandments for your life
Then you will know wherever you go, you’ll know wrong from right.
(Chorus)
