George Jones - Cup Of Loneliness lyrics

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
