I am your God, no God's before me
This was a command for you, don't you see?
For if you love Me more than any other
then you won't be needy or clingy or smother

You shall not make an idol to pray to
a thing you can look at that can't even hear you
it will make you believe that I am not real
make you frustrated and numb, so you cannot feel

You shall not take My name in vain
this I told you for your own gain
for when you throw my name about
and use it when you scream and shout
you forget that I am the God of all
and you make Me seem so very small
How can you trust me to handle a prayer
if you don't even really believe I am there?

Remember to keep the Sabbath day
now listen to what I have to say
you will burn out, hopelessness will set in
if you ignore this and turn to sin
work will become the most crucial thing
causing anxiety and sleepless suffering
you will be bored, short tempered and stressed
that's why I gifted you with this day of rest

Honor the parents that I gave to you
don't hate them no matter what they may do
they are human, they'll make a mistake
but listen to them, for your own sake
if you give them your love and respect
then here is what you can hope to expect
they will respect you right back, you will see
then you will all live more peacefully

You shall not ****** another with thought
this shouldn't be something that needs to be taught

You shall not sleep with another's husband or wife
this will cause all of you nothing but strife
pain of betrayal and despairing rejection
can spread faster than any other infection
it destroys our ability to perceive love
and that is our best gift, straight from above

You shall not take what doesn't belong to you
there will be consequences, this is true
you could end up in jail locked in a cage
filled with sadness, despair, and all sorts of rage
the person you stole from will feel violated
and you will be guilty, and loathed, and hated

You shall not be a false witness in court
to condemn someone to a life that is short
if you lie under oath you are hurting another
and God said you should love him like a brother

You shall not covet your neighbor's things
not their big house, fancy cars, or glittering rings
then you will think you never have enough
and you will be so caught up in just stuff

There are two commandments that often are said
thinking the 10 are long gone and dead
the first is love Me above no other
the second is love yourself and all others
These are a statement to encompass all
so listen to these commands, big and small
Love me above others is all the first four
the last 6 help you to love others forevermore

Love is the thing that makes all this make sense
so you can have a happy life from now, hence
so make sure you love in all that you do
and you will have a happy life too.
