DRINKING FROM MY SAUCER

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 as I go along life's way I'm reaping better than I sow,

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 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.

.

O, Remember times when things went wrong

My faith wore somewhat thin,

But all at once the dark clouds broke

and sun peeped through again.

So Lord, help me not to gripe about the tough rows that I've hoed,

I'm drinking from my saucer "Cause my cup has overflowed"

.

If 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.

And may I never be too busy to help others bear their loads,

Then I'll keep drinking from my saucer

"Cause my cup has overflowed."

They borrowed a bed to lay His head

When Christ the Lord came down,

They borrowed the ass in the mountain pass

For Him to ride to town;

But the crown that He wore and the cross He bore

Were HIS own.

He borrowed the bread when the crowd He fed

On the grassy mountain side,

He borrowed the dish of broken fish -- With which He satisfied;

But the crown that He wore and the cross He bore

Were HIS own.

He borrowed the ship in which to sit -- To teach the multitude;

He borrowed the nest in which to rest, He had never a home so rude;

But the crown that He wore and the cross He bore

Were HIS own.

He borrowed a room on the way to the tomb

The Passover lamb to eat;

They borrowed the cave; for Him a grave;

They borrowed the winding sheet.

But the crown that He wore and the cross He bore

Were HIS own.

The thorns on His head were worn in MY stead,

For ME the Savior died.

For guilt of MY sin the nails drove in

When Him they crucified;

Though the crown He wore and the cross He bore

Were HIS own -----

THEY RIGHTLY WERE MINE !!!

First of all, it is As I Lay Dying, not As You Lay Dying.

All the colors of the rainbow

All of voices of the wind

Every dream that reaches out

That reaches out to find where love begins

Every word of every story

Every star in every sky

Every corner of creation lives to testify

(Chrous)

For as long as I shall live

I will testify to love

I'll be a witness in the silences when words are not enough

With every breath I take I will give thanks to God above

For as long as I shall live

I will testify to love

From the mountains to the valleys

From the rivers to the sea

Every hand that reaches out

Every hand that reaches out to offer peace

Every simple act of mercy

Every step to kingdom come

All the Hope in every heart will, speak what love has done

(Chorus)

Colors of the rainbow

Voices of the wind

Heaven reaches out where love begins

Word of every story

Star in every sky

All creation testify

Mountains to the valleys

Rivers to the sea

Heaven reaches out to offer peace

Simple act of mercy

Kingdom come

Every heart will speak what love has done

(Chorus)

(Chorus)
