(O My Darlin Clemetine, the music to the verse twice then the chorus)
1. God gave
(D)us the sixth com-mand-ment not to try and spoil our (A7)fun but to
(A7)let us know that (D)there are certain (A7)things that we should (D)shun.
Though the
(D)world around us thinks morali- ty should be ig- (A7)nored we should
(A7)know we find the (D)best when ever (A7)we obey the (D)Lord.
(D)When it
(D)comes to wives and hus- bands this es-pec- ially is (A7)true. God gave
(A7) this com- mand- ment (D)'cause he wants the (A7)best for me and (D)you.
2. Immor-
al- ity and lust are things that war against the soul. Though they
may look good at first they never fail to take their toll. Though it's
true "In sin there's plea-sure" it so quick- ly slips a-way leaving
on- ly in its place a price that's ve- ry hard to pay.
Po- wer for
Car-ing, po- wer for lov-ing, po- wer for shar-ing, they all flee, til one
day we wake up em-pty, robbed of our hu- man- ity.
3. When God
made us man and wo-man he in- tend- ed better things, wanting
us to find in mar-riage all the bless- ings that it brings. God's in-
ten- tion for his child-ren is that two become as one, finding
in their life to- get- her partner- ship and joy and fun.
So to
keep us from a way which would des-troy the things he planned for our
true com- plete ful-fill-ment, God has giv-en this com-mand.
4. In the
keep- ing of these words there's something we should bear in mind. They're a-
gainst adultry and unchasti- ty of any kind, but they
al- so say that we should cherish hon- or serve and love the-
hus- band or the wife who's sent to us from God a-bove.
So we
keep the sixth com-mand-ment just the same as all the rest, and we
know God gave it cause he wants for us the very best.
