Drinking From My
Saucer
I've never made a
fortune
and it's probably too late now,
But I don't worry about that
much,
I'm happy anyhow.
And as I go along life's
way,
I'm reaping better than I sow,
I'm drinking from my saucer
'Cause my cup has overflowed.
Haven't got a lot of
riches
and sometimes the going's tough,
But I've got loving ones around
me
and that makes me rich enough.
I thank God for his
blessings
and the mercies He's bestowed,
I'm drinking from my saucer
'Cause my cup has overflowed.
O, Remember times when
things went wrong;
My faith wore somewhat thin.
But all at once the dark
clouds broke
and sun peeped through again.
So Lord, help me not to
gripe
about the tough rows that I've hoed,
I'm drinking from my saucer
'Cause my cup has overflowed.
If God gives me strength
and courage
When the way grows steep and rough,
I'll not ask for other
blessings,
I'm already blessed enough.
And may I never be too
busy
to help others bear their loads,
Then I'll keep drinking from my
saucer
'Cause my cup has overflowed.
