A New Life Well Lead

Start anew and follow his lead
Nourish the soul with his word and bread
Bask in the sun to ensure it stays in your head

Traverse on his earth and move with ease
Take in the hills and the seas
Ingest pure water and keep ahead
Let the body be gently fed

Believe in yourself as he sure does
Breathe in the fresh air it’s yours to keep
Trust in God to keep you fed
Never wrong will be the path he’s led

Rest your head on days well lived
Be your own shepherd and practice restraint 
Don't take blessing for granted, 
Be sure to guard the life you're fed
