Drink From My Saucer

“The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness For His name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me. Thou dost prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; Thou hast anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows. Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” Psalm 23:1-6

I’ve never made a fortune,
And it’s probably too late now
But I don’t worry about that much,
I’m happy anyhow.
And as I go along life’s journey
I’m reaping better than I sowed
And I’m drinking from my saucer
Cause my cup has over flowed.

Ain’t got a lot of riches and
Sometimes the going is tough,
But I’ve got my family and friends that love me,
So I’m rich enough.
I just thank God for His blessing
And the mercies He’s bestowed.
I’m drinking from my saucer
Cause my cup has over flowed.

I remember times when things went wrong,
My faith got a little bit thin,
But all at once the dark clouds broke and
That old sun peeped through again.
So Lord help me not to gripe
About the tough rows I’ve hoed.
I’m drinking from my saucer
Cause my cup has over flowed.

And if God gives me the strength and courage
When the way grows steep and rough,
I’ll not ask for other blessings,
I’m already blessed enough,
And may I never be too busy
To help another to bear his load.
Then I’ll keep drinking from my saucer
Cause my cup has overflowed.
