Chew Cud, Sit Not Idle

The God of Abraham has shown the way,

The creatures clean, He did portray—

Those who chew the cud and walk split-toe,

A metaphor to hearts that grow.

We feed on truth, His holy Word,

Each line of love we've seen and heard.

We hold it close, recite and wait,

Then chew the cud and meditate.

We meditate and walk in light,

Recite His Word both day and night.

Chewing the truth, our hearts are fed,

By every Word our Savior said.

Hear, O Israel, the Lord alone,

Love Him with heart, soul, strength your own.

Moses has said, recite His word,

Teach your children what you've heard.

We meditate and walk in light,

Recite His Word both day and night.

Chewing the truth, our hearts are fed,

By every Word our Savior said.

Split hooves steady on the climb,

A metaphor through space and time.

Firm in faith, obey His call,

Steadfast hearts won’t fear the fall.

We meditate and walk in light,

Recite His Word both day and night.

Chewing the truth, our hearts are fed,

By every Word our Savior said.

Moses has said, walk in His way,

Be steadfast, don’t turn astray.

Do what the Lord has spoken true—

Be careful in all you do.

We meditate and walk in light,

Recite His Word both day and night.

Chewing the truth, our hearts are fed,

By every Word our Savior said.

Psalm 1 says, delight in His way,

Meditate night and day.

Like a tree by water you’ll grow,

In season, your fruit will show.

We meditate and walk in light,
