The Ten Commandments Lyrics

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...
