George Jones - Cup of Lonliness lyrics

rate me

I see Christian pilgrim

Soul redeemed from sin

Called out of darkness

A new life to begin

Were you ever in the valley

Where the way is dark and dim

Did you ever drink the cup

Of lonliness 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 they ever mock at you

And laugh in ways quit grim

Did you ever drink the cup

Of lonliness with him?

--- Instrumental ---

Did you ever try to preach

Then hold fast and pray

And even when you did it

There did not seem a way

And you lost all courage

Then lost all your vim

Did you ever drink the cup

Of lonliness with him?

Aw, my friend '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 drink of the bitter the cup

Of loneliness with Him
