I do not need a diamond ring

When I have cabbages to hoe.

My Jesus gives me everything.

A house to clean,

A song to sing,

A man to love,

A child to grow-

I do no need a diamond ring.

I make a garden every spring

And sometimes,

Late at night,

I sew.

My Jesus gives me everything.

So why should I be hankering

For temporary things that glow?

I do not need a diamond ring.

When rainbow skies keep promising

The bliss of summer,

The kiss of snow.

My Jesus gives me everything.

From crisp green beans to snap and string

To life eternal.

Where I go.

I do not need a diamond ring;

My Jesus gives me everything.
