The Oak Ridge Boys sing 'Farther Along,' a classic gospel hymn that addresses the struggle of understanding why the righteous suffer while the wicked seem to prosper. The song encourages believers to trust that in heaven, when they see Jesus, all their questions will be answered. It offers comfort and hope, urging listeners to 'cheer up' and live in the sunshine of faith, knowing that one day they will understand God's ways. The lyrics reflect a theme of patient endurance and eternal perspective, rooted in the promise of future clarity and reunion with Christ.
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
When we see Jesus coming in glory
When he comes down from his home in the sky
Then we shall meet him in that bright mansion
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
