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 sow

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.
