Verse 1Fruit and grain and green of field, all the gifts the waters yield; from the garden to this day, God provides our bread each day.ChorusEat with thanks and walk with care, rest your body, breathe the air; what God has made, receive with grace — this body is His dwelling place.Verse 2Not too much and not too fast, small good choices built to last; when I fall, I start again, fruit of Spirit, not of men.ChorusEat with thanks and walk with care, rest your body, breathe the air; what God has made, receive with grace — this body is His dwelling place.BridgeWhether I eat or whether I drink, whatever I do, whatever I think, all for His glory, all of my days.Final ChorusEat with thanks and walk with care, rest your body, breathe the air; what God has made, receive with grace — this body is His dwelling place.

4. Test Everything
Part I · 凡事察驗
Verse 1A headline shouts, "It cuts your risk!" I stop and ask before I list: how many people, out of a hundred, were really helped, and who was burdened?Verse 2A test says yes, but is it true? Count a thousand, see it through; how common is it, where I stand? The answer's in the crowd at hand.Pre-ChorusTest everything, hold fast the good, weigh it the way a wise one should.ChorusEat with thanks and walk with care, rest your body, breathe the air; what God has made, receive with grace — this body is His dwelling place.Verse 3One number's just a single frame, the trend will tell me where I came; one study's just a single voice, let many speak before my choice.Verse 4Each faith and table has its way, I listen well to what they say; but every diet, old or new, I test to find out what is true.Pre-ChorusTest everything, hold fast the good, weigh it the way a wise one should.ChorusEat with thanks and walk with care, rest your body, breathe the air; what God has made, receive with grace — this body is His dwelling place.

Verse 1The pyramid was turned around, the charts went up, the charts came down; but through it all one truth held fast: whole food, not too much, will last.Verse 2Bread to strengthen, oil to shine, grain and fiber, all of mine; less of sugar, less of salt, fewer things from a factory vault.ChorusEat with thanks and walk with care, rest your body, breathe the air; what God has made, receive with grace — this body is His dwelling place.Verse 3If my sugar starts to climb, I will walk and take my time; a little weight lost, step by step, is a promise I have kept.Verse 4Pill or shot, I'll ask and weigh, what it gives and takes away; with my doctor, side by side, truth and wisdom be my guide.ChorusEat with thanks and walk with care, rest your body, breathe the air; what God has made, receive with grace — this body is His dwelling place.
