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 loved 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
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. by Jimmy
Dean
