about

I wanted to memorize God's advice. Jesus's advice, Paul's advice, the 10 Commandments - seemed like a good place to start.

lyrics

THE LAW

Am I poor in spirit? Do I mourn for the lost?
Am I meek and gentle? Do I thirst for righteousness
Am I merciful and forgiving? Am I pure in heart?
Am I a peacemaker who’s willing to be torn apart?
When will I see the kingdom of heaven?
When will I be filled?

Jesus, it’s so hard to obey and to walk in Your way.
Jesus, You’re the vine and I’m the branch, will You help me understand?

Am I patient? Am I kind? Do I envy? Am I filled up with pride?
Am I rude? Am I selfish? A I angry, filled with bitterness?
When will I know perfection in love?
When will I see clearly?

Jesus, it’s so hard to obey and to walk in Your way.
Jesus, You’re the vine and I’m the branch, will You help me understand?

High or low, I will go there with You.

I shall have no other gods
I shall make no idol thing
I’ll not take Your name in vain
I shall keep the Sabbath clean
I shall honor my family
I’ll not hate or lust or lie
I’ll not cover to steal the things that are not mine
You’re perfect Law, it fills me with life.
Your Word is my delight.

But Jesus, it’s so hard to obey and to walk in Your way.
Jesus, You’re the vine and I’m the branch, will You help me understand?
