Cup Of Loneliness - Original Gusto Recordings

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 they ever 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 of the bitter cup of loneliness with Him
