Commended Commandment

"My son, keep thy Father's commandment.... When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee" (Proverbs 6:20,22).

Our Father in heaven has given command
To love Him with all that's within:
With heart, soul, and strength that He gives us to stand
With every new day we begin.

Our Father's commandment should surely be kept,
For daily it leads as we walk;
It also will keep us whenever we've slept,
And when we awake it will talk.

And so God commends His commandment to us,
For He surely knows what we need.
While sleeping, when waking, and going forth thus
He will keep, He will talk, and will lead.
