His Name In Vain

by Ron Tranmer ©

Commandments given by our God
Direct us here on earth.
How we choose to keep them
Will determine our soul’s worth.

The third commandment tells us
Not to take God’ s name in vain.
“If you love Me, Keep My commandments”,
This scripture makes it plain.

God will not “hold him guiltless”
Who degrades His Holy Name.
Such Disrespect for Deity,
Should make one feel great shame.

Respect the God who gave us life,
And Christ, who died for you.
Treat their name’s with reverence
In all you say and do.
