“The Perfect Ten”

INTRO: (Tape only; no singing)

In a cloud of fire and smoke

A mighty voice of thunder broke

As God descended to the mountain top

High upon Mount Sinai

He gave the rules we should live by

As God gave out the shalts and thou shalt nots

VERSE: (All sing)

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, the 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 through ten.

CHORUS: (All sing)

The Perfect ten,

The perfect ten.
They’re just as true as they were way back when.

God gave the perfect ten

The perfect ten

God gave the perfect ten.

(Repeat chorus)
