Micah 6:8 Lessons
"He has shown you, O man, what is good and what God wants you to do. But to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God."
This series of lessons begins with an inductive study of the verse followed by sessions on each of the 3 major areas of what is good and what God wants you to do. Lessons can repeated to aid understanding. I would recommend that you use the paraphrase I provided above for the verse as the language is easier than in some of the translations. Use it in the song provided below as well.

There is a song version of this verse which is easy to learn (and easy to play on the guitar). Our group has has no trouble learning it. As stated above, perhaps learn the song as
He has shown you
O man
What is good and what God wants you to do
but to do justly
and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God
D
He has shown these (echo),
G
O man (echo),
A G D
What is good, and what the Lord requires of thee;
D
But to do justly (echo),
G
And to love mercy (echo),
A G D
And to walk humbly with thy God.
