MERCYME LYRICS - Ten Simple Rules

"Ten Simple Rules"



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



[CHORUS:]

And 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
