I must be saving these days
I have no money to save
I must save health and strength
Enough to last me for a long while
I must save my nerves
And my thoughts and my mind
And the fire of my spirit
I must be saving the tears that flow
I shall need them for a long, long while
I must save endurance for these stormy days
There is so much, (strengthen me)
I need in my life, (so I'll see)
Warmth of feelings and a kind of heart
These things I lack, of these I must be saving
All these, the gifts of God
I wish to keep
How sad I should be
If I lost them quickly
