Tuning: G C E A

Cup Of Loneliness recorded by George Jones written by George Jones and Burl Stephens

^GI see Christian pilgrims so redeemed from sin ^D7Called out of darkness a ^Cnew life to ^Gbegin

Were you ever in the valley when the way is dark and dim

^D7Did you ever drink the cup of ^Cloneliness with ^GHim

Did you ever have them laugh at you and say it was a fake

^D7The stand that you so boldly ^Cfor the Lord did ^Gtake Did they ever mock at you and laugh in ways quite grim ^D7Did you ever drink the cup of ^Cloneliness with ^GHim

Did you ever try to preach then hold fast and pray

^D7And even when you did it there ^Cdid not seem a ^Gway And you lost all courage then lost all your vim ^D7Did you ever drink the cup of ^Cloneliness with ^GHim

Oh my friends 'tis bitter sweet while here on earthly sod

^D7To follow in the footsteps that ^Cour dear Savior ^Gtrod To suffer with the Savior and when the way is dark and dim ^D7To drink of the bitter cup of ^Cloneliness with ^GHim
