MercyMe - Ten Simple Rules Lyrics

Here's a little tune you'll be happy to know
Keep it close to you wherever you may go
God gave us ten simple rules to get us through
A little something just for us to live by
So now hide them in your heart and you will be fine

And the Lord said have no other gods but God
To worship idols just won't do
Be careful with the way you use god's name
And keep Sunday special too

Honor your parents, don't take any lives
And when you're old enough to marry be true
Do not steal or lie or want those things that don't belong to you
These are ten simple rules God gave to me and you

Now the good Lord said you better listen to me
If you follow these rules then they will set you free
Because I want you to live a happy life and help others to be happy too
So when things go wrong these words will get you through

And the Lord said have no other gods but God
To worship idols just won't do
Be careful with the way you use God's name
And keep Sunday special too

Honor your parents, don't take any lives
And when you're old enough to marry be true
Do not steal or lie or want those things that don't belong to you
These are ten simple rules God gave to me and you

And the Lord said have no other gods but God
To worship idols just won't do
Be careful with the way you use god's name
And keep Sunday special too

Honor your parents, don't take any lives
And when you're old enough to marry be true
Do not steal or lie or want those things that don't belong to you
These are ten simple rules God gave to me and you
These are ten simple rules God gave to me and you
Oh, these are ten simple rules God gave to me and you
