The incredibly talented musical group Sounds Like Reign turned in a beautiful and enchanting performance of “It is Better Farther On.”
Life is often a challenging and unfair experience, filled with situations that will overwhelm and push you to your breaking point. Sadly, most of the time, you will not see these problematic, trying circumstances coming, leaving you unable to brace for impact. They can and usually do come when you’re least expecting them.
However, no matter what you’re facing or currently enduring, there is one who will remain by your side through it all. Jesus Christ, the world's Savior, will never leave or forsake you in your time of need. He will offer rest, guidance, direction and shelter from the storm.
In a clip posted on YouTube, Sounds Like Reign sings a familiar tune about enduring these troubling times with Jesus Christ right by our side. Once again, as is always the case, the vocal performances are stellar, angelic even. The voices are stunning.
But as great as the vocal performances and instrument playing in the clip are, the uplifting and encouraging lyrics make this video noteworthy. Everyone will go through times that cause them pain, sorrow and extreme grief. But the song’s reassuring and beautifully written lyrics tell us we are not alone.
The song’s lovely chorus reminds us that while we may be hurting now, Christ is still with us, and because of that, we hope for a better tomorrow. We have a future because of Him.
“Farther on, still go farther
Count the milestones one by one
Jesus will forsake you never
It is better, farther on”
Whatever terrible situation you may be going through, don’t give up, don’t throw in the towel. Jesus Christ remains by your side, and He will not let that horrible time go to waste. The Bible tells us that God works for the good of those who love Him in all situations.
Romans 8:28 “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”
