Cup Of Loneliness chords by George Jones

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
