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
As I go along life's journey
I'm reaping better
than I sowed
I'm drinking from my saucer
'Cause my cup has overflowed.
Ain't got a lot of riches
Sometimes the going's get rough
But I got kids
that love me
That makes me rich enough
I just thank God for His blessings
And the mercy He has Bestowed
I'm drinking from my saucer
'Cause my cup has
overflowed.
I remember times when things went wrong
and my faith got a little
thin
But then all at once the dark clouds broke
And the old sun broke through
again
So Lord, help me not to gripe
About the tough rows I have hoed
I'm drinking from my saucer
'Cause my cup has overflowed.
If God gives me
strength and courage
When the way gets steep and rough
I won't ask for other
blessings
I'm already blessed enough
And may I never be to busy
To help
another bear his load
Then I'll keep drinking from my saucer
'Cause my cup
has overflowed.
