Don’t waste your time worrying
It will never solve anything
Don’t be anxious about a small thing
You don’t know what tomorrow may bring

Be fruitful and multiply
See the birds in the sky
They eat because of His favor
Though they don’t toil nor labor

Increase in every good thing
Don’t be anxious about clothing
Look at the lilies of the field
See how beautiful they are arrayed

I've given you everything good
The animals and plants for your food
I’ve given you everything you need
Seeds to plant that will surely yield

Believe God and all His promises
Seek His kingdom and righteousness
He will supply your needs in excess
According to His abundant riches

Scripture references:
Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” (Genesis 1:28)
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. (Matthew 6:33-34)
