George Jones - Cup of loneliness.wmv video free download
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 you ever have them mock at you and say in ways quite grim
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 think of the bitter cup of loneliness with Him

+Joseph Catignani When I listen to songs like this, I never really thought about it but I suppose I filter them through a non-theist mindset, so I enjoy them and their metaphors. There was likely a wise man who lived long ago and who believed in the brotherhood of man, and realized and taught the metaphor that is almighty God is found in the living man, and he shared his ideas and philosophy with others by walking the walk and talking the talk. Whatever sects of humanity have turned, perhaps twisted, that philosophy into over the millennia is something else, but that simple philosophy remains intact and important regardless. Do unto others as you'd do unto yourself.10 years ago

There is an even better version of this song by George Jones. It is really edgy and the vocal really pushes hard. It was recorded around 1957, I would guess, and I think it was on the D label. I have had an LP for decades, which is a compilation of mostly D label recordings. It's on the Cascade label and it is titled "20 Great Country Recordings" or something like that. (I'm at the library.) The LP also has several great early Willie Nelson recordings like "What A Way To LIve"12 years ago
