Johnny Cash - Farther Along Lyrics






Tempted and tried we're oft made to wonder
Why it should be thus all the day long
While there are others living about us
Never molested though in the wrong

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

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

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

Johnny Cash Farther Along Comments

    How is this song copyrighted I don't understand I think it's from the 1800s I don't think Johnny Cash wrote the song. This is a great song my friend was playing it on Facebook

    Indeed, it is 2019 this morning, and we are all "farther along" in our lives. It is so important, no...not just important...it is urgent, that we resolve to keep our priorities straight. Faith in Christ first, and having a humble spirit. The treasures and trinkets this world offers can never satisfy, and being content with the necessities of life from our bountiful Father should be enough. As Johnny Cash sings the lyrics to this mournful hymn, we should remember not to be jealous of those who seem to have it all, fame, money, recognition. What are these things to the child of God? Be content. Be joyful in Christ. You are rich indeed. Happy New Year to all. JJF 1/1/19

    I've lost my faith but this was always one of my favorite hymns growing up. It still touches my heart, truly. The message still resonates, though I can't be sure anymore if we will ever understand why.

    My two cents, but hopefully, you still have faith. Probably have just lost your belief based upon what you’ve seen and experienced in this life. So. If nothing else. Have faith 😉

    its within us to have doubt, its at these times when you must remember Gods promise to us that we will never endure more than we can handle. sure thingsvget bad and at times we experience grief, trials and tribulations, good people suffer tragedy while bad one have joy. in the end tho God holds the ultimate power and does indeed love us. thats where faith come in. it is the one thing we can rely on in those dark times. even tho things are uncertain and make no sense it all unfolds eventually to Gods will. just remember you are stronger than you know and thru faith are protected by his promise.
