The Top Ten in Rhyme



The Ten Commandments in Rhyme

  1. Thou no gods shalt have but Me.
  2. Before no idol bow the knee.
  3. Take not the name of God in vain.
  4. Dare not the sabbath day profane.
  5. Give to thy parents honor due.
  6. Take heed that thou no murder do.
  7. Abstain from words and deeds unclean.
  8. Steal not, for thou by God art seen.
  9. Tell no willful lie and love it.
  10. What is thy neighbors do not covet.

And the New King James Version:

  1. You should have no gods but Me.
  2. Before no idol bow your knee.
  3. Don't take the name of God in vain.
  4. Don't dare the sabbath day profane.
  5. Give to your parents the honor due.
  6. Take heed that you don't murder too.
  7. Refrain from words and deeds unclean.
  8. Don't steal, for you by God are seen.
  9. Tell no willful lie and love it.
  10. What is your neighbors do not covet.

    Great work, Eddie.

    11. In My presence bow humbly and low, to the Emergent Church thou shalt not go

    12. In My congregation you shalt not dress like Jezebels, and please keep the music to less than 100 decibels

    Ok, I'll stop now.

    Eddie: I put these in the back of my prayer journal last year sometime. I don't know where I found them. Have you put them up before?
    If the Lord blesses us with children we want to homeschool and I will put these up in the classroom.

    Truthinator: brilliant too!

    Love it! I must admit that I do sometimes have trouble remembering all 10 commandments. However once I've got this rhyme downpat then that will no longer be a problem. Great work.

    Patience, I posted these a good while back on my Facets of Grace blog. That's where all of these "Sunday Additions" come from.

    Perhaps Lacrae or Shai Linn could rap this.
