6. Gifts of Love

Gifts of love our Lord has given, Words of life: "I'm your God!
I have brought you out of Egypt; now I call.
Listen here, listen well:
When you live in gratitude you'll keep my law."

"Have no other gods before me, says the Lord God Most High.
Don't choose idols that you worship in God's place.
Know God's name, use it well.
Keep the Sabbath for it is God's gift of grace."

"Honor father, honor mother, and rejoice! God will bless you.
Take no life, for God loves every child on earth.
Celebrate gifts of love;
Take to heart what marriage promises are worth."

"Do not steal from one another, nor speak lies, hurting others;
Do not wish for what your neighbor has in greed."
Ten great Words, gifts from God,
Help us live in thanks for all we have received.
