One and Only God

Exodus 20:1-7

There is only one Lord God as no doubt,
Freeing His children to bring them out;
From the land of Egypt as being a slave,
To the land of milk and honey He gave.

With no other gods but Him He demands,
Not making any images with their hands;
Or of Heaven or on the earth any pictures,
As well as the underwater earthly features.

Never bow down to any idol or abide in,
Since He is a jealous God and to be a sin;
Proclaiming punishment for doing wrong,
Of the third and fourth generations long.

Whoever loves Him abiding in His laws,
He shows mercy and exempts their flaws;
Into centuries of generations not of yet,
Those who honor Him no need to fret.

But those who take His name in vain,
Within their hearts He shall never reign;
For they are a sinner showing disrespect,
To the one and only God that they reject.
