Enjoy a very spirit led song.
I mean this in all sincerity... this is the greatest Christian song of all time
I’ll second that
Third!!!
I AGREE!!!
Add a 4th.
The Best
5th
2023. Still my favorite song. Tears every time. Christ saved me from a horrendous life unto an abundant life in Him. Thank you for this!
“Jesus cries because he loves them both” that part speaks to me
Me too
Amen brother
Deeper than water has ever set
Every...single...time.
Me too. Love JOSH... A GOD GIVEN TALENT
2020 and I’m just finding this song. What a hidden little treasure. Thank you Jesus for your completed works on the cross! Amen!
2022 and I am discovering that it's Farther Along and not Father alone😊...I am 48 and all this time thought it was Father Alone...although this could work too because most times only Father alone understands🙏🏾
I just had it shared with me last night! Had a good cry. Wondering where this song has been hiding at all my life :,)
how/why did Josh not blow up after this??!!! this is hands down one of the top 5 Christian songs I've ever heard (and I've listened to A LOT of music). these lyrics are Grammy-worthy...
Imo the Christian music industry is an inside industry. It you’re not in than you won’t get in and they only let so many outliers to the “contemporary Christian music sound” in
He is a true jem!!!Josh your music hits my soul when it's broken
He stayed humble and out of the
Cross over hype from Hollywood.

Bro just 1 to 1 DEFINED my thoughts for this song. When I heard it for the first time years ago, I thought it would end up being one of those EXTREMELY popular songs for years to come, but it turns out that not enough people love our lord and savior Jesus Christ. No surprise there. That's why Jesus is coming back in the first place. (If you don't believe me, there is a lot of evidence. Just google it) The world is terrible right now and that by itself really says a lot about us humans. 😢😢😢
Beautiful song. Brings hope, a living one, not of this world but from eternity. Shalom
Amen
“Sing ‘Lord, come soon.’”--Even so, come Lord Jesus! Thank you JESUS for saving a wretch like me!
Our Bridegroom is coming sooo soon. Marantha.
This is the most amazing song ever. Full of love, truth, the gospel entire. I love you Josh Garrels and all you who love the Lord your God with everything you have.
Listen to the call. Your Father wants you in his embrace. Take Jesus in!
I wish this version of the song had been available when my Mom died of cancer at age 39, back in 1999; it would have been a great comfort to me. My Mom was a good person who loved G-D more than anyone I’ve ever known, always helped anyone she could, & was a blessing to everyone who came across her path just by knowing her. She died within 5 weeks of her first symptom, leaving behind a family who needed her, including my sister who was only 2 years old at the time. I’ve stopped asking why this happened - because I find peace knowing that one day, farther along, we’ll understand why. I don’t need to know right now anyway - all I need to do is remember the life she lived and to live a life in turn that would have made her happy. And farther along, when the day comes that we can understand, I don’t think we’ll even want to know, because we’ll be too taken up with Jesus to even wonder why anything happened on earth the way it did. It won’t matter anymore...HE is the only One who matters, now & forever, Amen! ✝️
✝️💛🫂 Rachel, Yes we will know with all due time, sometimes I wonder why my Mom is so sick(seizures, spin issues, port by her heart, Doctors telling us multiple times that we might now see her again while she goes into and out of surgeries) i can go on forever about all the hurt I been through, etc but I will understand when I'm supposed to understand. God Bless Sister and I will see you in the clouds. Maybe we are given the hardest lives because God knew we would not leave his side. Maybe its to save our souls.
Like you said we will know eventually✝️💛🫂.
How sweet 🥺💖
So sorry for your loss.
🙏 AMEN!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
The song it’s based on did exist and it’s an old hymn. The words to that original hymn may yet bring you more comfort.
One of the absolute best songs I have ever heard in my entire life.
I just finished watching the faith based movie "Tulsa" based on true story. When I heard the song Farther Along I was in tears. Must listen to entire soundtrack by Josh Garrels. Thank you Jesus!!! 🙏
Same here and now I listen and love all his songs
just got finished watching Tulsa and that's where I got the song beautiful movie beautiful song praise you Lord
I don't know if someone has explained it yet, but the song speaks of the freedom you can have in following Christ Jesus. That quote "go down to the river and let it run, wash away all the things you've done" is a reference to Baptism, physically and spiritually. We are sinful people, we don't deserve any of the grace God gives us, and yet he still gives us the choice to be free "from all the things we've done" if we just choose Him and listen to Him. It's a beautiful gift He's given.
Amen brother
Gal.5:22,23; Eph.2:8; Titus2:11; 3:5-9; John3:5_ "grace" also known as the "fruit of the spirit" and is given to all men. Selah
Hallelujah to the Lamb of God!
Thank you ❤️
@@sheilacape4794 welllllllll....yes, what you have said is true for all men and women once they are born from Above (born again, from John 3:3 and elsewhere)- a miraculous & true gift to all of those who are Truly in Christ Jesus, due to His Undeserved Mercy, Grace, Sacrifice, Love-- and through His Righteousness and precious gift of Faith, Alone.
Remember, as Simon Peter himself reminds us, these blessing are " to those who Through the Righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours."-- (those who through Jesus ALONE, and His Righteousness ALONE, have received God's gift of faith, that is as precious as that of Peter and the Apostles themselves)
From 2 Peter 1:1.
Just for starters, and as part of my thanksgiving and Prayers for both you and I...
My grandmother (born in 1884) sang this song to me when \I was a child, and I've always associated it with her. In trying to find the lyrics, I chanced across this exhilarating, life-enhancing version, for which I'm very grateful. I miss my grandmother terribly and ,having lived in England for many years, this rendition, unexpectedly, brings me close to her again. Many, many thanks. Marie
Say what?!
Thanks for sharing.
It's so uncomfortably obvious, to me, that there is a life within me that was not created for this world but another. I don't know all or even many of the things I will do when I get there but I do know one thing: I will worship Him in song. This is the beauty of music - it testifies to the very soul a thing that we were created to do for eternity, and can catch a glimpse of in the temporary. I love sermons, I'm a podcast preacher, but they cannot feed my soul the way worship and prayer does. This is a good worship - no posturing. Just raw, authentic, relational and redeeming worship.
"One day when the sky rolls back on us some rejoice and others fuss because every knee must and tounge confess for the son of god is forever blessed" Makes me cry every time i hear it
God is so great his glory is a beautiful thing makes me cry at times too ❤️
Me too
Come Lord Jesus come
Me too
Yes--such a beautiful restating of Matthew 25, sheep & goats, with some fussing & weeping and gnashing of teeth, and some rejoicing, but ALL Bowing And Confessing, as per Philippians 2:9-11=
"Therefore God exalted Him to the Highest place, and have Him the Name that is above every name. That at the Name of Jesus, every knee should bow, in Heaven and on Earth and under the Earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is LORD, to the Glory of God the Father ❣️"
EVERY time I listen to this I get goosebumps. It beings me peace and joy! No fear. Just LOVE🙂🤗😘🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕
My name is Alex. I surrendered to Gods will through this song! I need humility and this song is one of those reminders of that ! This song also reminds me of my 3 brothers!! I will be sharing this song with my 3 brothers today and my hope is to pull our lives that much closer to each othe for all our lives have went in many directions after we got older because we came from a broken home. Thank you so much for this song. Really had me crying tears of joy and humility!
As someone who is dealing with an immense amount of difficulty, trying to find the strength to go on, find the "Joy in all things", this has definitely helped me. I'm losing everything around me, my wife, kids, likely home and more... I'm devastated. But at the very least, I feel ever so slightly better after listening to this.
I was on that side of it exactly 6 years ago... Hold onto Him. Im praying for you.
Much love bro :).. I promise something good will happen, just keep positive and pushing the difficult times out of the way :) if u need to talk about anything im here 4 u
U r loved 💗
Spenok hey man ... im here to check up on you, is all going well?
For if any man be in Christ all old things are gone behold the new. This too shall pass. through the hottest fire is forged the hardest steel.
Hang in there brother.....
This song helped my friend not commit suicide. I love it and the message.
im praying it will do the same for me (my friend)
@@swagwizard4376 nah bro you always gotta push on, no matter how hard it gets. I understand it might not mean anything coming from a stranger but keep moving forward. There is always hope for a better tomorrow. I usually dont comment on youtube videos but i coulnt scroll past your comment. Peace brother!
may god / JESUS ,, bless your friend with happiness , and a long life
@gg dd thanks man, the good thing is that my friend is good now, but that testimony is fantastic. you good if i use it if an issue like this comes up again?
@gg dd wow man, thats some powerful stuff. i think ima tell my churches lead pastor. hes a chill dude thats a fantastic friend of my dads. my dad mentors him from time to time.

How have I never heard of this artist before!!! Why isn’t he played on the radio??? Simply amazingly beautiful.
2020 and I just was blessed with this music.
3:45
This part is the most chilling part of the whole song. The Messiah is REAL, HE IS ALIVE, AND HE WILL RETURN. HalleluYAH! Love Him now, He loves you!!!
This might sound morbid but I would love this video played at my funeral. So much meaning to me personally and visually stunning.
We sang it at my gramma's funeral. I miss her 💔
It would be a good gospel message to those in attendance ❤
Played at friends dads funeral
. inI'mumumin*injll(oo
Play it twice... funerals are sometimes the only place some people will ever hear the Gospel.
I stumbled onto this song by accident...I had never even heard of this singer.
Wow!!! I am so very blessed to now have this beautiful song, this music, these lyrics!! God bless us all, in Jesus name. 💜💛💜💛💜💛
“But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings, and you will go out and leap like calves from the stall. Then you will trample the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day I am preparing,” says the LORD of Hosts." (Malachi 4:2-3)
A wondrously beautiful song to inspire hope. Well done video. Thank you!
Why am I just hearing this in 2022? Praise Yah for giving us your music
This is the kind of Christian music I've always needed ♡
Who's here because this is the at the end of Tulsa???? Pure tear jerker!!! Love you Jesus!!!!!!!!
I am MOVED. Bringing the spirit instantly. Stay encouraged all! See the purpose that seeks to heal and sanctify us all.
--Keep looking up✌️

This song is filled with the Holy Spirit!!! Thank you Mr. Garrels!
AMEN!
ALL THE GLORY TO OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST, THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF OUR FAITH.
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS BROTHER.
3-23. Beautiful little song that Was shared with me by my sweet Daughter n Law. Thank You so much Happy ! God Bless You.
Oh Jesus how I grow to love and appreciate you more everyday.
My 19 year old son introduced me to this song. And from the moment I heard it, it blessed my heart and soul. I believe with all my heart that God blessed you to write this. I pray God continues to bless you❤️
The Holy Spirit is certainly in the heart of this man God most definitely used him for this great song to bring joy and happiness to people for some this may restore faith for others be that thing that brings them to Jesus in turn into arms of God our father ❤️🙏
Still here in 2019...still my favorite
Lulu Del Same here! Still hoping for a music video♥️
Second that motion! Love this song!

I have been sharing this song now for several friends that have lost loved ones. Thank you for such a beautiful song!!!
Lyrically and musically awesome..
Just heard this song on a movie. Really ministered healing to my soul over my son's death 7 Mos ago. Thanks Josh! Thank you Jesus!
My cousin shared this song with me just today. I listened to it and found myself surrounded by an all encompassing peace. You see we have both lost our sons way too early. Our common bond as family and mothers will forever keep us close. Thank you Josh Garrels for putting the thoughts and feelings of our hearts together in this beautiful song you sing better than anyone else!

YOUR MUSIC IS FRUIT
FRUITFUL .
A BEAUTIFUL GIFT TO
THE KINGDOM OF GOD !
THANK YOU FOR BEING OBEDIENT AND Service using the gifts he gave you to Bless Us All .
Thank you.
Glory be to Our Father in Heaven
in JESUS NAME AMEN
I found this song one night when I needed....just needed to be brought back.
"FORGIVENESS ALRIGHT"
His voice and these words cascaded over me like water and cooled my Spirit.If I could say something to him personally.It would be,"Thank You for this gift in a song."
Farther along we'll know all about it
Farther along we'll understand why
So cheer up my brothers, live in the sunshine
We'll understand this, all by and by
Tempted and tried, I wondered why
The good man dies, the bad man thrives
And Jesus cries because he loves em' both
We're 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 I've seen
Where did I go wrong, I sang along
To every 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
there's so much more to life than we've been told
It's 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 you've done
Forgiveness alright
Farther along we'll know all about it
Farther along we'll understand why
So cheer up my brothers, live in the sunshine
We'll understand this, all by and by
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 I've got no place left go
Cause I got changed by what I've been shown
More glory than the world has known
Keeps me ramblin' on
Skipping like a calf loosed from its stall
I'm free to love once and for all
And even when I fall I'll 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, we're the guests
So put your voice up to the test
Sing Lord, come soon
Farther along we'll know all about it
Farther along we'll understand why
So cheer up my brothers, live in the sunshine
We'll understand this, all by and by
You missed a few words. But still.. it's a great song.
"Chorus" was skipped over .
For years i listened this song, and only now i realise that i think Josh was crying... It's noticable after " Sing Lord come soon "
I can't express how beautiful your song is and what a gift Christ has given you to share his love!!!
Very nice addition to an already wonderful old song. Thank you Josh for your music. You are blessing people through your music. Nice visual for this song. Farther along we WILL know all about it, indeed. His is the Kingdom and we're the guests. Praise the King!
I gotta admit
Whenever I feel down and lonely
Listening to this song always cheers me up
I can see that. Its very inspiring. 😇
Thanking my Son, SEAN - for turning me on to this song, heartwarming and JOYOUS. I am truly blessed♥ I love you Sean.
Here thanks to Tulsa. God is good. God Bless!
Josh is true man of God!
The greatness of Christ is more important than our understanding this. It's subtle
This song is beautiful and josh is the best Christian singer I have ever heard his music just makes me proud to be a Christian I love his music but of all I love our Lord Jesus Christ
It is amazing that no matter at what point in my relationship with God that I am in, this song hits me in that place and still gives me the encouragement to keep pushing forward. We all struggle and are pulled back and forth but ultimately we know where our strength and destiny is. I see that thought reflected in this song. Modern day poetry right here.
Thank you for these words you posted 3 years ago...they are just what I needed to hear today. Have to stay strong in God no matter what,,, the ultimate decider of Destiny. Spiritualution!
Roon Mc same here bro
I totally agree. Thanks for your comment.
Took the words....😊🙏✝️💕
Four years later; still hope you're pushing forward. "Alway forward, never back." - St. Junípero Serra.
I found this song when I was at Younglife Castaway Camp in 2013, been searching for it since then and finally remembered enough lyrics to Google it! Amen!!!
My Grandpa sang this song to me as a child...what a lovely arrangement..
Praise God for this glimpse of Heaven.
I just had the funeral of a close friend of mine today, and I asked God why he would take someone so young, and then this song came to mind, kind of God's version of a pep-talk to me. I just wanna thank Josh for writing this. God bless
Refreshing& beautifully done. GOD gave Josh a special gift.praise GOD!🤩🥰💔🙌
Just heard this song for the first time last night. What a beautiful song! I came here to look it up to hear more of it and to watch the video, how beautifully amazing!
My new favorite song!!!
I love Josh's voice!!!
Go down to the river and let it run, wash away all the things you've done... FORGIVENESS ALRIGHT!! AMEN 🙏✝️💜
It's an amazing song and touches my mind, spirit and heart -- every time I give it an honest listen. Anyone dealing with any Pain physically & /or Mentally-- can be uplifted by it's strong faith-filled messages. THANK YOU GOD for Songwriters that you have gifted like this young man.
Hearing it the first time..we will be just fine😊
I don't know why bad things happen to good people. We are so fallen in this world. Some of us if not all us live in a rough journey of broken relationships, abuse, illness, etc.
We were created to relate with God and with each other and be good examples to others.
Not gonna lie, I sobb like a little girl when I listen to this... I've only seen two people convey the message of the spirit of the lord the way you do. You and one other... Your music brightens even my bad days, because the spirit is so alive within it...
Lord bless you my friend! I wish your life to be filled with faith, hope and love.🙏🙌 And crying isn't for bad😁👍
Amen. 6 years after your comment I’m sobbing in my kitchen listening to this song. God truly gifted Josh Garrels with being able to communicate His message so clearly
Worship should send you immediately into your bible find your slef in Matthew and stay there for a while. Christ saves and redeems let him in. Wash yourself in his blood.
Please add this man to your worship collection... Josh Garrells and Simon Khorloskiy... OH MY GOSHNESS you will be amazed... Chills and goosbumps... ua-cam.com/video/dFdruGTRSUg/v-deo.html&start_radio=1

Wow Josh, what a powerful update to an old Gospel song. Powerful my brother, powerful.
Too all those going through a tough time i will be here and there for u ❤️ just keep going and think positive :)) love ya 😎
his singing is out of this world!!! I love him:D
That is what Jesus is for, when we fall He carries us. Anything is possible when we believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. I can attest to personal pain, so deep that it feels like the bottom of the deepest empty well on earth, and God, with all His love and grace, brought me out. With His help, I faced my pain and gave it to HIm, I would not be the person I am today if it were not for Him.
I absolutely love this rendition. I grew up with this song and had forgotten about it until I heard it on the movie Tulsa. I waited until all of the credits rolled so that I could found out who sung it. I then went to Amazon and ordered the CD.
This is an awesome tune, white owl is another one , the artwork in that one is cool. Christian music has a lot of songs that have a good message but they aren't very well put together and feel 'hollow' but this is all around ear candy , with the positive lyrics. Good job guys, give the glory to God, keep serving up the good news. This broken world needs it
I love white owl!! ❤
I'm a film enthusiast and my first impression of this Christian song is like a OST of a movie series of a person dealing with depression and anxiety and overcoming it once he had an encounter with the Saviour, Jesus Christ.
We'll understand it all by and by ...
There are many things which we can only hope for in our terrestrial darkness, but the Sar Shalom is on the horizon, coming to take His people home.
now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known. 1 Corinthians 13:12
Maranatha!
I cry everytime. As soon as it starts. Lord come soon!😢
Very beautiful song ive been bullied in school alot cause of my acne and people hated me and 2 times i attempted to commit suicide but it never happened i saw light and the week after i went to church and saw this song which helped alot and has been with me we all need to see that we can help and create peace

I hope this will help you also. :-)
Amazing lyrics; can't wait to get "farther along"...
I want you to know you're loved.
We have to be that change brother
Keep walking my friend!!❤️ ❤️ ❤️
God bless you brother. Keep up the light - hello from Berlin
This is my new favorite song! Can't wait to be home....💜
Oh I so needed to hear this song again. God bless.
Gosh I just want to like this song yet again. So good. Every Josh Garrels song is annointed I experience..
The song doesn't have to be some like you're trying to win a music contest. And it doesn't have to be sung like it's the most emotional song ever. The song is basic and simple but the power of the lyrics is what moves you. Two thumbs up for the quality and the beauty of the song and the message.
Heard this from the movie "Tulsa" during which I cried at least 4x. I hardly do that in movies. This song at the end really capped it! Love it.
It's not the melody, the music, the beat, or the instruments that makes this beautiful, it's the Lyrics
Amen !!
Josh Garrel never dissapoints me consistantly great allways great lyrics and more
this song changed my life. God took my mother from me, and it's been hard not to hold resentment towards Him but this song changed everything. I cry every time I listen to it.
Sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother Margaret. I too, lost my Mum last year and I found comfort in a song by Sleeping At Last - "Saturn". I hope it may give you some peace and comfort. The world kind of feels like a total void when one loses their Mum as you've probably discovered from her passing. I wish you peace for the future my friend... God Bless...
Hi Margaret - I'm sorry for your loss. Any resentment residual might get washed away by viewing The Shack (the movie). Blessings!
Margaret Eigenfeld remember: even if you're angry with God go to Him with that anger. It's better to go to Him with how you're actually feeling than putting on a tough face and not turning to Him. He will provide the grace to heal your hurt....
John 10:10
You know as a believer how you can hear a sermon and it feels like its been tailor made just for you? This song was exactly everything I was saying to a lost friend of mine today...And then I'm here. And its as if it was manifested by my thoughts..a beautiful confirmation that we love an infinate God.
i wish i had discovered josh and his musical message before my grandfather passed away...he was in ICU for 5 weeks and i would have sang all of josh's songs to him...he was a musician and it saddens me that he didnt get to hear these beautiful words but i will sing them for him when i get to the other side
RIP PawPaw
For one day, we all will face the lord in our final judgment of how we lived our life an how true we were of the fathers ways amen I LOVE YOU LORD REMEMBER ME
WHAT BEAUTY,,,, THAT IS UNKNOWN,,,,,TO SEE,,,,,BEAUTIFUL JOSH........
My favorite lyrical song by Josh Garrels. Beautifully said. Even when i fall, i get back up for the joy that overflows my cup. Amen. Love this. Fav artist right now. Thank you !
He may be not very popular, but there is a special anointing on this song! It touches your heart! Glory to our Heavenly Father!
I love this song the lyrics are so meaning full. Unlike most other modern "worship" songs today
2019 anyone?🙋 I still love this song very much. God Bless🙏❤.
2020 now. My favorite Christian song still. Discovered in 2016
My Grandma Deva was her name but she taught me this song she was murdered and I listen to it in memory of her I have mixed feelings about this song but it reminds me live while we can
This song truly blessed my heart.TRUTH!!!
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING 🙏😇. GOD BLESS YOU ALL
Beautiful, just beautiful!
Right now ive been doubting myself and I just want to say thank you for this song...you have lifted my soul!
This man is changing the world with his music.🙏☝👍💆
9 years ago!!!!!! This makes me angry 😭why am I now just hearing of this beautiful song.
This song feels like a warm hug from God, “shine like you stuck gold my wayward son!”
"Skipping like a calf loosed from its stall!" Literally, thanks to this song and the truths it testifies to. ❤️🙏
Most beautiful gospel song, im some 13 year old, and right now I cant sleep so im listening to this song.. Amen!!
I heard the song for the first time tonight on my way home from work. I just started praising God immediately and oh wow what a beautiful song.
It’s a beautiful song and a shows us the truth of the creation!
