Cup Of Loneliness

Cup Of Loneliness - George Jones (乔治·琼斯)

I say christian pilgrim

So 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 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 laugh in ways quite grim

Did you ever drink the cup

Of loneliness with him

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 loneliness with him

Oh my friends this 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 from the bitter cup

Of loneliness with him
