I've never made a fortune,
And it's probably to late now,
But I don't worry about that much,
I'm happy anyhow,
And as I go a long life's way,
I'm reaping better then I've sewed,
I'm drinking from my saucer,
Cause my cup has overflowed.
Haven't got alot of riches,
And sometimes the going gets 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.
Oh! 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.
If God gives us strength and courage,
When the way grows steep and rough,
I'll not ask for another blessing,
For I'm already blessed enough,
And may I never be to busy,
To help others bear their loads,
Then I'll keep drinking from my saucer,
Cause my cup has overflowed.
