Statler Brothers The Ten Commandments
Moses led God's children out
To find the promised land
And on the way he stopped each day
And looked 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 Heavens doors
And then He guided Moses hand
And 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 shall have no gods before Me
Is My first command
And thou shall not make any graven image
By thy hand.
Thou shalt not take My name in vain
And thou wilt guiltless be
Remember thou to keep the Sabbath day
Alone for Me.
Honor thy father and thy mother
And thou shall not kill
Thou shall not commit adultery
And thou shall 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
Climb that mountain now and pray
Climb that mountain now and tell us
What our Lord has had to say.
Moses showed these words of God
To all the children there.
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 as 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 Moses
Climb that mountain now and pray
Climb that mountain now and tell us
What our Lord has had to say.
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...
