DRINKING FROM MY SAUCER

Thursday, February 09, 2006

I’ve never made a fortune and it’s probably too late now
But I don’t worry about it 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
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

Wow! It never fails to amaze me how much I have been blessed. Never!
