One day God explained to the world: Only I alone am the master!
I do not bear other Gods beside me
You are to admire me at all times
Do not express my name uselessly
I torment you six days, stay home on the seventh
I created the sky and the earth and also the sea,
once a week you thank me for it.
Honor your parents, so that you live for a long time
In this country, which the master has given you.
You are not to kill and you are not to steal
and you are not to be unfaithful in marriage.
You are not to lie nor say anything wrong
Select an honest and fair life
Do not desire the house and the woman of your neighbor
and nothing of what belongs to your neighbor
If I were you, dear God
and if you were me, dear God
Do you think that I would be so strict with you?
If I were you, dear God
and if you were me, dear God
You would obey the requirements, only because of me
God was in despair when he saw that
his children again malfunctioned each day
For rescue he sent His son to us,
but He died in vain, because nothing changed
And each warning, each threat, which came from heaven
was over-heard from the sheep of the Master
And every day we fail once more!
If I were you, dear God
and if you were me, dear God
Do you think that I would be so strict with you?
If I were you, dear God
and if you were me, dear God
You would obey the requirements, only because of me
