Moses led God's children out to find the promised land
|
And on the way he'd stop each day and look to Heaven and
|
Asked God for help as he could not withstand the task alone
|
And then one day he looked away and thereby lay a stone
|
God said write upon this stone these words I say to you
|
And if you all obey my rules I'll see you safely through
|
God opened Heaven's door and then He guided Moses' hands
|
And then He said go and tell my children these are my commands
|
Go and climb that mountain Moses climb that mountain now and pray
|
Climb that mountain now and tell us what our Lord has had to say
|
Thou shalt have no Gods before me is my great command
|
And thou shalt not make any graven image by thy hand
|
Thou shalt not take my name in vain if thou would guiltless be
|
Remember thou to keep the sabbath day alone for me
|
Honor thy father and thy mother and thou shalt not kill
|
Thou shalt not commit adult'ry and thou shalt not steal
|
Love thy neighbor as thyself and show thy neighbor peace
|
Covet not thy neighbor's house nor anything that's his
|
Go and climb that mountain...
|
Moses showed these words of God to all the children then
|
They pulled up stakes and headed out to find the promised land
|
That Moses had described to them and told of comforts there
|
The children of oppression thought they'd not find anywhere
|
But they were soon to part from him and push alone awhile
|
For it was never meant for him to walk that final mile
|
The children cried if we must go on Moses without you
|
Then talk to God just one more time and tell us what to do
|
Go and climb that mountain...
|
Thou shalt have no Gods before me...
