I’ve never made a fortune

and I’ll never make one now,

but it really doesn’t matter

‘cause I’m happy anyhow.

I go along my journey

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 while my kids still love me,

I think I’m rich enough.

I’ll thank God for all his blessings

that His mercy has bestowed.

I’m drinking from the saucer

‘cause my cup has overflowed.

If God will give me strength and courage

when the way grows steep and rough,

I won’t ask for other blessings

‘cause I’m already blest enough.

May I never be too busy

to help bear another’s load.

I’m drinking from the saucer

‘cause my cup has overflowed.
