It is better farther on...

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

  1. 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!! :)
