"Commandments of Grace II" (Verse 1) Yo, the Fourth Commandment, it’s about respect, For parents and leaders, the ones God protects. Not just their title – nah, it’s deeper than that, Honor flows from the cross where my Savior sat. Disrespect, yeah, it’s sin, it shows my pride, But Christ obeyed for me, laid His life aside. He honored the Father, fulfilled His decree, Through His perfect obedience, He set me free. (Hook) The law’s a mirror that reflects my flaws, But the gospel steps in and rewrites the cause. The Ten Commandments – they point to my need, Then Jesus fulfills; He’s the grace I receive. (Verse 2) Fifth Commandment, “Don’t murder” – more than a knife, It’s the hate in my heart that snuffs out life. But here’s the truth: Christ came to restore, The broken and bruised, yeah, He loves even more. Hurt and harm? Nah, I’m called to defend, To help and uplift, be a neighbor and friend. Yet I fail, but His blood still covers my shame, His mercy revives me, I’m reborn in His name. (Verse 3) The Sixth Commandment, “Be pure” – body and mind, In word and deed, let His will align. For marriage is sacred, His blessing bestowed, A picture of Christ and the church He upholds. But the lust in my heart shows I fall short, Yet Christ bore my sin, took it straight to court. On the cross, He declared, “It is finished for you,” And through His forgiveness, I’m made brand-new.

Christ didn’t take – nah, He gave it all, His life for my ransom, redeemed from the fall. Now I’m called to protect what my neighbor holds dear, Through love and compassion, the gospel is clear. (Hook) The law’s a mirror that reflects my flaws, But the gospel steps in and rewrites the cause. The Ten Commandments – they point to my need, Then Jesus fulfills; He’s the grace I receive. (Verse 4 – Climax) Eighth Commandment, watch the words you say, Speak the truth in love, take the kindest way. But my tongue’s like fire, it burns and betrays, Yet Christ’s truth stands, His mercy stays. He bore my lies, every whisper and jest, Cleansed my heart, gave me peace and rest. Now I defend, uplift, and speak light, Because His gospel turns wrong into right. (Outro) Fear and love – yeah, His Spirit transforms, Grace overflows, His truth conforms. The commandments convict, but the gospel is sure, Through Christ, I’m redeemed, my salvation secure. (Bridge) Now the Seventh Commandment, it speaks to my greed, Don’t steal, but help others succeed. Dishonest dealings? Yeah, I’m guilty as charged, But the riches of grace, they’ve been given large. Christ didn’t take – nah, He gave it all, His life for my ransom, redeemed from the fall. Now I’m called to protect what my neighbor holds dear, Through love and compassion, the
