Josh Garrels' song 'Farther Along' is a plea for deliverance from suffering and danger, likely inspired by the plight of refugees or those facing persecution. The lyrics depict a mother and child fleeing violence, with the child crying out to God for help and courage. Drawing on Psalm 23, the song affirms that even in the valley of death, God's presence brings hope and survival.

Somewhere, out there, 

Can anybody hear my prayer

And save me, from this dark land


If I had wings, 

I would fly away from everything

That hurts me, and tears me down


Is there a home, for a mother and a child

In a world, with no place left to hide

We will run, though way is dark and long

We will sing, you?re our hope, you are our song


Lord! Take my hand.

Lord! Help me stand. 


Days are getting colder, 

I can see the soldiers

Marching up to burn us down


I take my momma's right hand, 

Tears are on my face and

She says, "Son, it?s time to summon the courage now"


Run for your life child, 

Flee into the night while

We still have the chance to make out of here alive


And even though we walk through 

The valley of death you

Shall fear no evil, you will survive


Cause there?s a home, for a mother and a child 

In a world, only one place left to hide

So we will run, though the way is rough and long

We will sing, alleluia to our God


Lord! You?ve overcome.

Lord! Lead us on.
