Farther Along

Intro: Farther along well know all about it Farther along well understand why Cheer up my brothers, live in the sunshine Well understand this, all by and by Tempted and tried, I wondered why The good man died, the bad man thrives And Jesus cries because he loves em both Were all cast-aways in need of ropes Hangin on by the last threads of our hope In a house of mirrors full of smoke Confusing illusions Ive seen Where did I go wrong, I sang along To every chorus of the song That the devil wrote like a piper at the gates Leading mice and men down to their fates But some will courageously escape The seductive voice with a heart of faith While walkin that line back home So much more to life than weve been told Its full of beauty that will unfold And shine like you struck gold my wayward son That deadweight burden weighs a ton Go down into the river and let it run And wash away all the things youve done Forgiveness alright Intro (2x) Still I get hard pressed on every side Between the rock and a compromise Like the truth and pack of lies fightin for my soul And Ive got no place left go Cause I got changed by what Ive been shown More glory than the world has known Keeps me ramblin on Skipping like a calf loosed from its stall Im free to love once and for all And even when I fall Ill get back up For the joy that overflows my cup Heaven filled me with more than enough Broke down my levee and my bluff Let the flood wash me And one day when the sky rolls back on us Some rejoice and the others fuss Cause every knee must bow and tongue confess That the son of god is forever blessed His is the kingdom, were the guests So put your voice up to the test Sing Lord, come soon
