Mark Lehnhoff - The Ten Commandments Lyrics

God gave the Ten Commandments
To the Israelites
So we would know for certain
What is wrong and right
So lend and ear and listen
To what the Bible says
As I/we submit to you
This humble paraphrase

One! You shall have
No other gods before Me
Two! Don't make an idol
Out of gold or carve it from a tree
Three! Do not misuse the name
Of the Lord your God
Four! Remember the Sabbath day
And keep it holy
Five! Honor your father
And your mother
Six! Do not murder
Your sister or your brother
Seven! Don't go lovin'
Someone else's honey
Eight! Do not steal
Someone else's money
Nine! Do not lie
Or give false testimony
Ten! Do not covet
​Your neighbor's dog
Her bicycle or pony

Now if you will remember
The words here in this song
The Bible says that you'll live well
​And your days will be long
