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,
Ask 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 trough.?
God opened Heaven's door and then He guided Moses? hands,
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 the father and thy mother and thou shalt not kill.
Thou shalt not commit adult?ry, and thou shalt not steal.
Love thy neighbour as thyself, and show thy neighbour peace.
Covet not they neighbour's house, or anything that's his.
?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.?

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 any where,
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 Moses,
Climb that mountain now and pray;
Climb that mountain now and tell us what our Lord has had to say.?
?Go and
