G                         
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
To drink of the bitter cup of loneliness with Him
