You shall have no other gods before you!
Oh, but we would not, if we only knew
That it made our God, very, very blue.
Selfishness encompasses all sin!
You shall not worship material things!
Oh, but we just love our jewelry and rings,
Not thinking that God wants servants, not kings.
Selfishness encompasses all sin!
You shall not misuse My sovereign name!
Oh, but we were mad at life's fickle game,
Not wanting to take Your holy name in vain.
Selfishness encompasses all sin!
You shall keep the Sabbath as a day of rest!
Oh, but yes we would, we quickly reply in jest,
But, we really know what's for our own best.
Selfishness encompasses all sin!
You shall honor your father and mother!
Oh, but we would if they treated brother
The same loving way they treat each other.
Selfishness encompasses all sin!

You shall not hate man, and you shall not kill!
Oh, but we were mad, so angry, yet still,
What we did was not in our Father's will.
Selfishness encompasses all sin.
You shall not lust for another man's wife!
Oh, but my concern was for my own life,
Not thinking it would bring others much strife.
Selfishness encompasses all sin!
You shall not worry, and you shall not steal!
Oh, but we needed a good hearty meal,
It really was not such a very big deal.
Selfishness encompasses all sin!
You shall not deceive, and you shall not lie!
Oh, but we just saved our own selves, we cry,
Not worried about the sweet bye and bye.
Selfishness encompasses all sin!
You shall not covet your friend's lifestyle!
Oh, but we do and then after awhile,
We forget to go the extra mile.
Selfishness encompasses all sin!
You must accept Christ as Savior and Friend!
But we too often focus on ourselves in the end,
Not the Way, the Truth, and Life that you send.

Selfishness encompasses all sin!
Christ said "Love others as I have loved You!
That means be servant for more than a few,
And shed your mantle of selfishness too!"

Selfishness encompasses all sin!
