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 reaping better than I sowed.
I'm drinking
from my saucer, because 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, because my cup has overflowed!
I 'remember times when things went wrong, my faith wore somewhat thin;
but all at
once the dark clouds broke and light peeped through again.
So, Lord, help me not to gripe about tough rows I've hoed.
I'm drinking
from my saucer, because 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!
May I never be too busy to help others bear their loads.
I'll keep
drinking from my saucer, because my cup has overflowed!
