Do we need God for Morality? [Spirituality & Religion]

Obviously the secular answer is a resounding NO.
But if you're a theist who says "yes", i want to hear your reasoning.

Be nice to hear from a theism that isn't Christianity for once. Even Islam or Judaism would be a nice change. But I think only the Abrahamic religions make God the origin of morality. Which is weird cause I don't remember the Bible specifically saying the origin of morality. It can probably be inferred. But most of it just seems to be rules and laws and to follow them is considered moral. But not the origin of morality itself. In fact the closest I could find was Romans 2:14–16 which says the law (morality) is written on the heart of man. That is, their conscious, and that Jesus will judge based on what is in the heart even though they be gentiles without the law and Pagan. That supports the secular argument that morality is something outside of religion and God since even the godless pagans have morality.
