Farther Along

Garrels Josh

Farther along we'll know all about it Farther along we'll understand why Cheer up my brothers, live in the sunshine We'll understand this, all by and by
 
Tempted and tried, I wondered why The good man died, the bad man thrives And Jesus cries because he loves em' both We're all cast-aways in need of ropes Hangin' on by the last threads of our hope In a house of mirrors full of smoke Confusing illusions I've seen
 
Where did I go wrong, I sang along To every chorus of the song That the devil wrote like a piper at the gates Leading mice and men down to their fates But some will courageously escape The seductive voice with a heart of faith While walkin' that line back home
 
So much more to life than we've been told It's full of beauty that will unfold And shine like you struck gold my wayward son That deadweight burden weighs a ton Go down into the river and let it run And wash away all the things you've done Forgiveness alright
 
Chorus
 
Still I get hard pressed on every side Between the rock and a compromise Like the truth and pack of lies fightin' for my soul And I've got no place left go Cause I got changed by what I've been shown More glory than the world has known Keeps me ramblin' on
 
Skipping like a calf loosed from its stall I'm free to love once and for all And even when I fall I'll get back up For the joy that overflows my cup Heaven filled me with more than enough Broke down my levee and my bluff Let the flood wash me
 
And one day when the sky rolls back on us Some rejoice and the others fuss Cause every knee must bow and tongue confess That the son of god is forever blessed His is the kingdom, we're the guests So put your voice up to the test Sing Lord, come soon
 
Chorus
