CMoses led God's children out to find the promised land
And on the way he'd stop each day and look to Heaven and
Asked FGod for help as he could not withstand the task alF7one
And tChen one day he looked away and thereby lay a stone
[Verse 2]
God Gsaid write upon this stone thG7ese words I say to you
And Fif you all obey my rules I'll see you safely through
God G7opened Heaven's door and then He guided Moses' hanDd
And Fsaid go and tell my childDren these are my G7commands
[Chorus]
Go and Cclimb that mountain Moses climb that mountain now and pray
CClimb that mountain now and tell us what our Lord has had to say
[Verse 3]
   CThou shalt have no Gods before me is my great command
CAnd thou shalt not make any graven image by thy hand
Thou Fshalt not take My name in vain if thou would guiltless be
RCemember thou to keep the Sabbath day alone for me
G7Honor thy father Gand thy mother and thou shalt not kill
Thou sF7halt not commit adultery and thou shalt not steal
LG7ove thy neighbor as thyself and show thy neighbor peace
CF7ovet not thou neighbor's house G7nor anytGhing that's G7his

The Dchildren of oppression thought they'd not find anywhere
But A7they were soon to part from him and push alone awhile
For Git was never meant for him to walk that final mile
The chiA7ldren cried if we must go on Moses without you
DThen talk to God just one more time and G7tell us what to do
