Drinking From My Saucer - Bill Anderson

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
