CUP OF LONELINESS
(George Jones - Burl Stephens)
« © '59 Glad Music »
I see Christian pilgrims so redeemed from sin
Called out of darkness a new life to begin
Were you ever in the valley when the way is dark and dim
Did you ever drink the cup of loneliness with Him
Did you ever have them laugh at you and say it was a fake
The stand that you so boldly for the Lord did take
Did you ever have them mock at you and say in ways quite grim
Did you ever drink the cup of loneliness with Him
Oh my friends 'tis bitter sweet while here on earthly sod
To follow in the footsteps that our dear Savior trod
To suffer with the Savior and when the way is dark and dim
To think of the bitter cup of loneliness with Him
