Choose the Living Way

The Voice that shook the mountains and covered them with smoke,
From cloud and fiery pillar His great commandment spoke:
“I call the earth and heaven as witness here today—
Before you now are life and death;
Now choose the living way.

“The Law of sweet, abundant life engraved by God on stone
Will lead you to the Living Word and make you all His own.
Obey and seek the blessing and shun the cursed way:
Before you now are life and death;
Now choose the living way.

“If you will love the Lord your God and listen to His voice,
The generations after you forever will rejoice!
His beautiful commandment will give you length of days.
Before you now are life and death;
Now choose the living way.

“I am the God of Jacob, yes Isaac’s God I Am,
By everlasting covenant, the God of Abraham.
Hold fast to My strong Promise: Your life is in My Praise!
Before you now are life and death;
Now choose the living way.”
