I've never made a fortune
It's probably too late now
Oh but I don't worry about that much
'Cause I'm happy anyhow
As I go along life's journey
I'm reaping better than I sow
I'm drinking from my saucer
'Cause my cup has overflowed
A'int got a lot of riches
And sometimes the going's rough
But I've got a friend in Jesus
And that makes me rich enough
I thank God for all His blessings
And the mercy He's bestowed
I'm drinking from my saucer
'Cause my cup has overflowed
O sure, I've been through some storms
And yes, I'm sure there were times when
My Faith must have got a little thin
But you know what it seemed like?
One day, all at once, those dark clouds broke
And that old sun she started shining again
So Lord, help me not to grumble and complain
About the tough rows that I've hoed
I'm drinking from my saucer
"Cause my cup has overflowed
If i should go on living
When the way grows steep and rough
I won't ask for other blessings
I'm already blessed enough
And may I never be too busy
To help another bear his load
Then I'll keep drinking from my saucer
"Cause my cup has overflowed!"
