Drinking from my Saucer

Drinking from my Saucer
anonymous

(I dedicate this to my grandfather who always drank his coffee from his saucer)

I never made a fortune and it's probably too late now,
But it don't matter all that much, I'm happy anyhow.
And as I go along life's journey I'm reapin' better than I sowed.
I'm drinkin' from my saucer 'cause my cup is overflowed.

Ain't got a lot of riches and sometimes the goin's tough,
But I got a wife and kids that love me and that makes me rich enough.
I just thank God for the blessings and mercies He's bestowed.
I'm drinkin' from my saucer 'cause my cup is overflowed.

Aw, I remember times when things went wrong and my faith got a little thin,
But then all at once the dark clouds broke and the old sun peeked through again.
So Lord help me not to gripe about the rough rows I've hoed,
I'm drinkin' from my saucer 'cause my cup is overflowed.

If God gives me strength and courage when my way gets steep and rough,
I'll not ask for other blessings; I've already been blessed enough.
And may I never be too busy to help another bear his load.
I'm drinkin' from my saucer 'cause my cup is overflowed.
