by Pastor John E Tumpkin
Health from the head to the foot,
Or throughout one’s bodily span:
Divinely proposed pursuit,
For every woman and man.
From infancy to old age,
Each female and male who’s born,
Can thrive at every life stage,
Till glorification morn.
A diet that’s based on plants,
With water as beverage one,
Does not rely on pure chance,
And is blessed by air and sun.
Activity tests and tones,
Boosting lungs and heart and veins,
Arteries, muscles and bones,
Rewarding the measured strains.
Rest is more than day seven,
Early night sleeping routine,
Up before sunlit heavens;
Refreshes and rests within.
Pacing and spacing one’s meals
Savoury balancing sweet,
Fruits, grains, vegetables appeal,
Legumes, lipids, nuts – how neat!
God wills that humans reform,
In diet and worship things,
Steadily follow, conform,
To renewal that Christ brings.
