George Jones - Cup Of Loneliness

G
i see christian pilgrims so redeemed from sin
D7 C G
called out of darkness a new life to begin

were you ever in the valley when the way is dark and dim
D7 C G
did you ever drink the cup of loneliness with him

did you ever have them laugh at you and say it was a fake
D7 C G
the stand that you so boldly for the lord did take

did they ever mock at you and laugh in ways quite grim
D7 C G
did you ever drink the cup of loneliness with him

did you ever try to preach then hold fast and pray
D7 C G
and even when you did it there did not seem a way

and you lost all courage then lost all your vim
D7 C G
did you ever drink the cup of loneliness with him

oh my friends ’tis bitter sweet while here on earthly sod
D7 C G
to follow in the footsteps that our dear savior trod

to suffer with the savior and when the way is dark and dim
D7 C G
to drink of the bitter cup of loneliness with him
