"I've never made a fortune, and I'll never make one now

But it really doesn't matter because I'm happy anyhow.

As I go along my journey I'm reaping better than I sowed

I'm drinking from the saucer because my cup has overflowed."

"I don't have a lot of riches and sometimes the going's rough

But while I have friends to love me I know I'm rich enough.

I'll just thank God for the blessings that his mercy has bestowed

I'm drinking from the saucer because my cup has overflowed."

"God gives me strength and courage when the way grows steep and rough

I'll not ask for other blessings I'm already blessed enough.

May I never be too busy to help bear another’s load

Then I'll be drinking from the saucer because my cup has overflowed."
