Farther Along

By Merle Haggard

Tempted and tried we're oft made to wonder
Why it should be thus all the day long
While others are living in sin all 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 we see Jesus coming in glory
When He comes from His home in the sky
Then we shall meet Him in that bright city
We'll understand it all by and by

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

God, we'll understand it all by and by

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
Oh, we'll understand it all by and by
