Drinking From My Saucer ‘Cause My Cup Has OverFlowed

… 

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, I remember times when things went wrong,
My faith wore somewhat thin.
But all at once the dark clouds broke,
And the 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.
