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 sowed.
        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.
