Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. When mother goes to shop for food, She chooses carefully. The Word of Wisdom is her guide To build good health in me.
When I eat fruits and vegetables and bread from wheat, How strong and health I will be. If we have meat I’ll eat it only sparingly; Then strong and healthy I will be.
2. There’re lots of things that I should do To take good care of me. The Word of Wisdom promises The best of health for me.
When I eat fruits and vegetables and bread from wheat, How strong and health I will be. If we have meat I’ll eat it only sparingly; Then strong and healthy I will be.
3. I thank my Heavenly Father for The food he’s given me. And for the Word of Wisdom And my mother teaching me.
When I eat fruits and vegetables and bread from wheat, How strong and health I will be. If we have meat I’ll eat it only sparingly; Then strong and healthy I will be.
