"THOU SHALT NOT STEAL"

WE GLANCE AT THE COMMANDMENTS AND READ THEM THROUGH,
AND THEN UNTHINKINGLY WE SAY, "THESE THINGS WE NEVER DO,"
BUT TAKE, FOR EXAMPLE, "THOU SHALT NOT STEAL."
CAN YOU HONESTLY SAY AND TRUTHFULLY FEEL
THAT IN SOME SMALL, UNIMPORTANT WAY
YOU DON'T STEAL A LITTLE EVERY DAY?
YOU PILFER TIME WHEN YOU SHOULD BE WORKING
AND LOOK FOR EXCUSES TO CAMOUFLAGE SHIRKING,
YOU COVET THINGS THAT YOUR NEIGHBOR OWNS
AND SECRETLY ENVY HIS LUCK UNBEKNOWNST,
AND THEN IN YOUR MANY UNTHINKING WAYS
YOU ROB GOD OF REVERENCE EVERY DAY,
AND THEN YOU BOAST AND PROUDLY SAY,
"HERE'S ONE COMMANDMENT THAT I OBEY,"
WHEN IN SOME VEILED AND HIDDEN WAY
YOU BREAK THIS COMMANDMENT MOST EVERY DAY.

"NOW THEREFORE AMEND YOUR WAYS AND YOUR DOINGS,
AND OBEY THE VOICE OF THE LORD YOUR GOD, AND THE
LORD WILL REPENT OF THE EVIL WHICH HE HAS
PRONOUNCED AGAINST YOU."

FOR YOUR UNFAILING LOVE IS AS HIGH
AS THE HEAVENS.
