The Sixth Commandment | You Shall Not Murder | A Prophetic Song

✨ The Sixth Commandment is short but thunderous: “You shall not murder.”
In these few words, God reveals the sacredness of life itself — that every human being bears His divine image. When we honor this command, we are not only restraining violence; we are protecting His likeness in one another.

From the beginning, God said to Noah, “Whoever sheds man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in His own image” (Genesis 9:6). This truth carried forward into the law, engraved on tablets of stone — but in Christ, it is now engraved upon hearts of flesh.

Jesus lifted the veil in Matthew 5, showing us the spiritual depth behind this command: that anger, hatred, and contempt are the roots of murder. The Spirit calls us not only to avoid taking life, but to become givers of life — reconcilers, healers, and peacemakers filled with His breath.

This prophetic song declares the holiness of life and the transformation that comes when the love of Christ restores the human heart. It’s a call to guard what God has breathed into being — to walk as sons and daughters of peace in a violent age.

📜 Original Scripture (WEB):

Exodus 20:13

“You shall not murder.”

Genesis 9:6

“Whoever sheds man’s blood, by man will his blood be shed,
for God made man in his own image.”

Matthew 5:21–22

“You have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, ‘You shall not murder,’ and ‘Whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’
But I tell you that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause will be in danger of the judgment.”

💖 Prophetic Reflection:
This commandment is the heartbeat of divine compassion.
To walk in the Spirit is to choose life — in word, in thought, and in action.
When the Spirit of Christ fills you, anger turns into mercy, and death into resurrection life.
Every life you honor is a mirror of His glory,
Every soul you forgive is a testimony of His grace.

🎵 Lyrics (Prophetic Song):

“The Image of God (You Shall Not Murder)”

Exodus 20:13 (WEB)

“You shall not murder.”

You shall not murder—
For the breath in man is the breath of God.
Life is sacred, flowing from His voice,
He spoke, and it became —
The living soul, a reflection of His name.

When blood cries from the ground, Heaven hears it,
As Abel’s voice still calls for justice.
The earth trembles beneath the weight of innocent blood,
And the Lord remembers every tear.

For in His image, we were formed —
Light within clay, Spirit within dust.
To strike a man is to strike His likeness,
To hate is to wound His heart.

[Instrumental — slow prophetic rise]

“You have heard,” said the Son of Man,
“Do not murder — but I tell you this:
If you are angry without cause,
You are already near that flame.”
🔥
The fire of wrath burns unseen,
Yet Heaven sees the heart.
Grace comes to cleanse the root,
Before the fruit of violence appears.

[Soft prophetic whisper]
Forgive…
And life will return to your hands.
Bless…
And mercy will flow like oil.

For the Kingdom is not death but life,
Not cursing but blessing.
Not vengeance but mercy flowing down.

[Build — strong prophetic tone]
The Spirit of Christ has come to restore —
The breath that Cain betrayed.
He gives new hearts that choose life,
He redeems the blood-stained soil.

⚡ Deuteronomy 5:17 (WEB)

“You shall not murder.”

[Prophetic punch — full band swell, thunderous declaration]
Thus says the LORD again —
Not once, but twice He spoke!
To echo through generations,
To write on stone and on the heart alike:
You shall not murder — for life is Mine!
Every soul is My creation,
Every breath belongs to Me.
To love is to honor the image of the Eternal,
To guard what I have breathed into being.

🌿 Final Prophetic Section

Oh sons and daughters, made in His likeness,
Let no hatred find home within you.
For to love is divine,
To give life is holy,
To walk in peace is the song of Heaven.

[Prophetic ending — spoken/sung declaration]

“You shall not murder,” says the Lord —
But I will write this deeper still:
Love one another, as I have loved you.
For I Am the Giver of Life,
And those who abide in Me
Shall shine like sons of peace forever. ✨
