We often grow weary in life. Storms knock us down sometimes,but it's good to know that one day it will all be over. When we are finally at home in Heaven! I love this song. It keeps me remembering to just keep going farther.
As we travel through this desert
Storms beset us all the way,
But beyond the river Jordon
Lies a land of endless day
Farther on, still go farther
Count the milestones one by one
Jesus will forsake you never
It is better, farther on
Oh my brother are you weary
Of the roughness of the way
Does your strength begin to fail you
Let the Savior lead the way
Farther on, still go farther
Count the milestones one by one
Jesus will forsake you never
It is better, farther on
At my grave oh still be singing
Do not weep for one that's gone
Sing it as we once did sing it
"It is better, Farther on!"
Farther on, still go farther
Count the milestones one by one
Jesus will forsake you never
It is better, farther on
Storms beset us all the way,
But beyond the river Jordon
Lies a land of endless day
Farther on, still go farther
Count the milestones one by one
Jesus will forsake you never
It is better, farther on
Oh my brother are you weary
Of the roughness of the way
Does your strength begin to fail you
Let the Savior lead the way
Farther on, still go farther
Count the milestones one by one
Jesus will forsake you never
It is better, farther on
At my grave oh still be singing
Do not weep for one that's gone
Sing it as we once did sing it
"It is better, Farther on!"
Farther on, still go farther
Count the milestones one by one
Jesus will forsake you never
It is better, farther on
I absolutely love this song! Sometimes it'll just come into my head and I'll start singing it and it's just so sweet. I often think of my pastor's mother when I hear this one cause she loved it and even though she's gone now, I'll keep singing cause it IS better farther on..she knows that first hand now! Can't wait to get to Heaven to see her again and most of all to see my Jesus! Thank you for sharing girl! Love your new profile pic btw! So pretty! Love you!! :)
ReplyDeleteI've never heard this song before, but the lyrics are certainly encouraging.
