(May be sung to the tune of "The Ballad of Jed Clampet" the slow section)
1. "I
(D)brought you out of Egypt where in (A7)slav'-ry you were bound, you
(A7)crossed the sea un- hin dered where the (D)Pha- raoh's men were drowned. "And
(D)now," said God, "since you are mine be- (G)cause I set you free, I
(D)give you these com- mand- ments to in- (A7)cline your hearts to (G)me."
C. (D)There are ten com- (A7)mand- ments more or less but
(A7)in those ten com- (D)mand- ments, I confess, no
(D)bet- ter way could God teach (G)us the way to live.
(D)Ten commandments, (A7)all he had to (D)give.
2. We
too should follow these commandments, each and ev'ry one, for
God has also set us free thru Je- sus Christ His Son. We
do them, not to earn His love for God already gave, but
ra- ther to express our love as those he died to save.
Chorus:
3. With
in these ten commandments we have ev'- ry thing we need to
teach us how to serve our God in thought and word and deed.
Patience, kindness, virtue, love and loy-alty they teach.
Let us try to live our lives in faith- fulness to each.
Chorus:
