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 I GO ALONG LIFE'S WAY,

I'M REAPING BETTER THAN I SOWED.

I'M DRINKING FROM MY SAUCER,

CAUSE MY CUP HAS OVERFLOWED.

HAVEN'T GOT A LOT OF RICHES,

 AND SOMETIMES THE GOING'S TOUGH

BUT I'VE GOT LOVING ONES ALL AROUND ME,

 AND THAT MAKES ME RICH ENOUGH.

I THANK GOD FOR HIS BLESSINGS, AND THE MERCIES HE'S BESTOWED.

I'M DRINKING FROM MY SAUCER,

CAUSE MY CUP HAS OVERFLOWED.

I REMEMBER TIMES WHEN THINGS WENT WRONG,

 MY FAITH WORE SOMEWHAT THIN.

BUT ALL AT ONCE THE DARK CLOUDS BROKE,

 AND THE SUN PEEPED THROUGH AGAIN.

SO LORD HELP ME NOT TO GRIPE,
