Remember to Obey
You shall lay up these words,
In your heart and your soul;
Listening to the birds,
As you let God console.
You shall bind as a sign,
Frontlets between your eyes;
Becoming more align,
As God makes you more wise.
You shall teach your child,
Talk to them at your home,
Not to be defiled,
Cautioning where they roam.
When they walk by the way,
Rising up where they lie;
From the Word do not stray,
For it cause them to die.
You shall write on your door,
The words upon your gate;
Show that you love and adore,
The Lord that did create.
Your days are multiplied,
For children of your land;
The precepts are applied,
To all, He did command.
For the Lord swore to give,
The land upon the earth;
In harmony to live,
Multiply to give birth.
If you are sure to do,
Keeping His commandments;
He will let you pursue;
Your wealth in abundance.
To love the Lord your God,
And walk in all His ways;
Never to become flawed,
Like anyone that strays.
No one stands against you,
With the Lord by your side;
Fear God and remain true,
All He commands abide.
