Drinking From A Saucer

I've never made a fortune

And its 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 drinkinq from my saucer

Cause my cup has overflowed.

Ain't got a lot of riches,

Sometimes the goings rough.

But I got a kid that loves me.

That makes me rich enough.

I just thank Him for His blessings,

And the mercy He has bestowed.

I'm drinking from my saucer

Cause my cup has overflowed.

And 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.

And if God gives me the 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 too busy

To help another bear his load.

Then I'll keep drinking from my saucer

Cause my cup has overflowed.
