drinking from a saucer

     DRINKING FROM MY SAUCER

                          I’ve never made a fortune
                          And its probably to 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!

                          Oh, I remember times when things went wrong
                          And 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,
                          Them I’ll keep drinking from my saucer
                          ‘Cause my cup has overflowed!
