1 Corinthians 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
When I was grown, Mama told me that out of all her children only I asked why this and why that.
I’ve learned that we don’t have to know all the why answers. We just have to trust Jesus no matter what happens.
Farther Along
_______________________
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 tho’ in the wrong.
CHORUS:
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.
When death has come and taken our loved ones, — It leaves our home so lonely and drear; — Then do we wonder why others prosper, — Living so wicked year after year.
Faithful till death said our loving Master; — A few more days to labor and wait; — Toils of the road will then seem as nothing, — When we sweep thru the beautiful gate.
When we see Jesus, coming in glory, — When He comes from His home in the sky; — Then we will meet Him in that bright mansion, — We’ll understand it all by and by.
W. B. Stevens 1911
