The Ten Commandments (literally ten words) constitute God’s vision for a life of human flourishing. Fresh out of 430 years of slavery and in stark contrast to centuries of oppression in Egypt, God initiates a relationship of covenant with Israel shaped by welcoming invitation (Exodus 19:1-5). This Summer, we’re committing to memory the Ten Commandments which lie at the heart of God’s covenant relationship with us. Below are lyrics and a link to a song we’re using to help us.

Yours for Christ,

The Perfect Ten
Number one, we’ve just begun,
God should be first in your life.
Number two’s the idol rule;
Those graven images aren’t nice.
Number three, God’s name should be
Never spoken in jest.
Number four, Sabbath’s for
Our worship and for rest.
Number five, we all should strive
to honor father and mother.
Number six, don’t get your kicks
From killing one another.
Number seven, life is heaven
When you’re true to your mate.
Number eight, don’t steal and break
This rule for goodness sake!
Number nine, don’t be the kind
Who goes around telling lies.
Number ten, don’t covet when
You see your neighbor’s house or wife.
That’s
the list and God insists
We stay away from these sins;
That is why we memorize
Commandments one thru ten.
