Drinking From The Saucer by John Paul Moore

Drinking From The Saucer

by John Paul Moore

I've never made a fortune,

And I'll never make one now

But it really doesn't matter

'Cause I'm happy anyhow

As I go along my journey

I'm reaping better than I've sowed

I'm drinking from the saucer

'Cause my cup has overflowed

I don't have a lot of riches,

And sometimes the going's tough

But with kin and friends to love me

I think I'm rich enough

I thank God for the blessings

That His mercy has bestowed

I'm drinking from the saucer

'Cause my cup has overflowed

He gives me strength and courage

When the way grows steep and rough

I'll not ask for other blessings for

I'm already blessed enough

May we never be too busy

To help bear another's load

Then we'll all be drinking from the saucer

When our cups have overflowed
