I.

Don’t worry about your life,

what you will eat, or your body, what you will wear.

Worry only increases the strife!

For eat or drink, don’t shed a tear!

II.

What you eat and wear

will fall into place

Don’t make them your care.

To those who give care, give them your grace.

III.

For God’s kingdom you must strive!

Don’t fight against those who care.

God wants you to thrive!

For God’s pleasure is never a snare.

IV.

God has given you what you need.

In all God’s gifts you’ll find treasure.

Of all God’s gifts take heed.

It’s there you’ll find your home and pleasure.
