The Overflowing Cup
By Aquarius
I have never made a fortune.
It’s probably too late for that by now,
But I don’t worry about it much
‘Cos I’m happy anyhow.
As I’ve been walking along life’s way,
I’ve been reaping better than I sowed
And am drinking from my saucer,
For my cup has overflowed.
I haven’t got many riches,
And sometimes the going’s tough,
But I’ve got loving ones around me
And with that I’m rich enough.
I thank God for his blessings,
And the mercies He’s bestowed.
I’m drinking from my saucer,
For my cup has overflowed.
I remember times when things went wrong
And my faith wore somewhat thin.
But then at once the dark clouds broke,
And the Sun peeped through again.
So Lord, help me not to gripe
About the tough rows I have hoed,
But to give thanks and praise to You
That I’m still drinking from my saucer,
For my cup has overflowed.
If You give me strength and courage,
When the way grows steep and rough,
I’ll not ask for other blessings
As I’m already blessed enough.
And may I never be too busy,
To help others bear their loads,
So I can drink from my saucer,
Each time my cup has overflowed.
