1. Which code can assist us
Uncover the fullness
Of living and loving
Which our spirits need?
The statements we sing now
Provide wisdom’s answers.
With God at the centre              (1)
Our spirits are freed.
Don’t try to confine God           (2)
To limited thinking.
Give God all the honor              (3)
With word and with deed.
Make time for a Sabbath          (4)
Of worship and resting.
Affirm every person                  (6)
Whatever their creed.
2. Respect your own parents.     (5)
Support all true bonding         (7)
Of family and partners
Till love fills each hour.
The truth should be spoken    (9)
In ways that show caring.
Don’t rob other people,           (8)
Don’t taint or devour.
Let go of all envy,                     (10)
Rejoice in life’s bounty.
Be open to others,
Share wisdom and power.
Remember commandments
Are no more than pointers;
Devoid of commitment
These seeds will not flower.
