CUP OF LONELINESS

|
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 '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 from the bitter cup of loneliness with Him
|
