Drinkin' from my saucer

DRINKIN' FROM MY SAUCER

I've never made a fortune

And it's prob'ly too late now;

But I don't worry 'bout that much,

I'm happy anyhow!

And as I go along life's way

Reapin' better than I sowed.

I'm drinkin' 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 drinkin' from my saucer,

'Cause my cup has overflowed!

I 'member times when things went wrong

, My faith wore somewhat thin;

But all at once the dark clouds broke

And light peeped through again.

So, Lord, help me not to gripe

About tough rows I've hoed.

I'm drinkin' 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!

May I never be too busy

To help others bear their loads.

I'll keep drinkin' from my saucer, '

Cause my cup has overflowed!
