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)
