Love the Lord Your God

Follow the laws of the Lord your God  

In the land you will possess 

So that your descendants fear the Lord 

And with abundant life, you're blessed 

Listen, and be careful to obey 

So it will go well with you, 

That you may prosper in the land  

That the Lord God promised you 

Love the Lord your God, alone 

With all of your heart, soul and strength 

Keep His commands upon your hearts 

Discuss them at great length 

When you are filled with good things 

And satisfied in the flourishing land, 

Do not forget the Lord, who delivered you 

And all that has come from His hand 

Serve the Lord with reverence  

For He is in your midst 

A jealous God who can destroy you; 

Do not put the Lord to the test 

Follow God's decrees  

And do what is good and right 

And you will dwell in peace  

Within our gracious Lord's sight
