Lyrics

I'll always know what I'm gonna say
I won't have to think ahead
I'll always plan to tell the truth
Just like the Bible says.

I'll stay out of trouble, won't get spanked
And here's the reason why
I've leaned the ninth commandment
Which says you shall not lie.

Oh God hates lyin'
so I'm gonna hate it, too.
I'd rather speak the truth in love
Just like He wants me to.

When people see my honesty
They'll smile and this is why:
I've learned the ninth commandment
which says you shall not lie.

(repeat)

Spoken: "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor." Exodus 20:16

A Lovely upbeat song that brings a simple message of basic humanity. Love the children's involvement. Well produced with vocals superbly delivered. Well done

quirky, a little off the wall, unique is the word for it

Loved it. It would be perfect for a Sunday School play. Adorable!!!Lead vocalist is spot on.

You are very good at this Children music genre. Nice vocal and the kids are especially good.

Oh, I know that voice, and it is always a joy to hear it. A jolly song with a moral, good advice from a silver voice and a chorus of sweet, young voices to tell you that it is always best to tell the truth. Very good advice, good to learn young that truth is best forever. Great song.

Its happy, and choca with Christian moraland clearly for kids.
