"Drinking from My Saucers" Lyrics

(Mike Johnson)

I'm drinking from my saucer
'Cause my cup has overflowed
You know I never did make my fortune
And I guess it's a little late now.

But I never did worry about that much
No, shoot I was happy anyhow 'cause you see
As I have journeyed down life's road
I have reaped a lot more than I've sowed.

And I'm drinking from my saucer
'Cause my cup has over flowed.
No, I'm not a man of riches
No sir, and sometimes the going gets kinda' rough
But I got me a good family an old horse and a dog
They all love me, well, that makes me rich enough.

I thank the Lord for all these
Bless the mercies he has bestowed
I'm drinking from my saucer
'Cause my cup has overflowed.

Oh, I've had lots of times when
It seemed everything went wrong
I could feel my faith get well just a little bit thin
But the rain would stop and dark clouds would roll away
The sun would come shining right back down in my life again.

So Lord, don't let me gripe too much
About the rough row I've hoed
'Cause I'm drinking from my saucer
My cup has overflowed.
I'm drinking from my saucer
My cup has overflowed.

And now Lord if you can just give me the strength I need
And the courage when that old road gets steep and rough
I'll not ask for any other blessing
'Cause I have been blessed more than enough

And Lord, don't ever let me get so busy
That I can't help another with his load
And I just keep on drinking from my saucer
'Cause my cup has surely overflowed
I'm drinking from my saucer
'Cause my cup has overflowed.

Thanks Lord...
