The song, "Farther Along" is like along the way we have come this far. As the time goes by ... and some day we'll see that it was to build our characters and to build our trust in Him a lot more. It was very popular song back then in 1950's. Even Johnny Cash and his wife, June Cash, the famous singers sang that song. They went through so much so the song has a deep meaning to them.
Song: Farther Along
1. Tempted and tried we’re oft (often) made to wonder,
Why should it be thus all the day long,
While there are others living about us,
Never molested (been bothered) tho in the wrong.
[Then chorus]
2. When death has come and taken our loved ones,
It leaves our home so lonely and drear;
Then do we wonder why others prosper,
Living so wicked year after year.
[Then chorus]
3. Faithful till death said our loving Master,
A few more days to labor and wait;
Toils of the road will then seem as nothing,
As we sweep thru the beautiful gate.
[Then chorus]
4. When we see Jesus coming in glory,
When He comes from His home in the sky;
Then we shall meet Him in that bright mansion,
We’ll understand it all by and by.
[Chorus]
Farther along we’ll know all about it,
Farther along we’ll understand why;
Cheer up, my brother, live in the sunshine,
We’ll understand it all by and by.
[Rev. W.B. Stevens]
