The Word of Wisdom

The word of wisdom is a law of health
It is greater than any kind of wealth
As when it's obeyed there is peace and rest
And when it's not- addictions contest

No tea or coffee or alcohol, too
Or drugs if a doctor would not approve
These are harmful, as well as tobacco.
These are the things to which we must say, "No!"

The Lord declares that some things are good
Eat vegetables and fruits with prudence, we should
The beasts and the fowls we should try to spare
As for our bodies, grains give the best care

These words of wisdom come with promise
There's treasures of knowledge when we're not amiss
We're not weary to run nor are we faint
Destroying angels pass by those known as a Saint

Yet, there is a law, that of opposition
That causes many to face a temptation
Some form habits to a controlling substance
But, through the Lord's grace there lies resistance

To resist temptation you must beware
The path to freedom requires much meek prayer
Heavenly Father wants for you to be so blessed
He will give you more strength- of this we attest
