A Cup Of Lonliness lyrics

Album: Tape: Good Old Bible

I see christian children
So redeemed from sin
Hauled 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 you so boldly
Saw the Lord did take.

Did they ever mock at you
And laugh at you in ways quit grim
Did you ever drink the cup
Of lonliness with him?

--- Instrumewntal

Did you ever try to preach
Then old fashioned pray
And even when you did it
There did not seem a way.

Then 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 earth we stopped
To follow in the footsteps
That our dear Savior crossed.

To suffer with the Savior
And when the way is dark and dim
To drink the cup
Of loneliness with Him...
