Guy Penrod - We'll Understand It Better By and By lyrics

We are tossed and driv'n on the restless sea of time; Somber skies and howling tempests oft succeed a bright sunshine; In that land of perfect day, when the mists have rolled away We will understand it better by and by By and by, when the morning comes When the saints of God are gathered home We'll tell the story how we've overcome For we'll understand it better by and by We are often destitute of the things that life demands Want of food and want of shelter, thirsty hills and barren lands; We are trusting in the Lord, and according to God's Word We will understand it better by and by By and by, when the morning comes When the saints of God are gathered home We'll tell the story how we've overcome For we'll understand it better by and by Trials dark on every hand, and we cannot understand All the ways that God could lead us to that blessèd promised land; But He guides us with His eye, and we'll follow till we die For we'll understand it better by and by By and by, when the morning comes When the saints of God are gathered home We'll tell the story how we've overcome For we'll understand it better by and by Temptations, hidden snares often take us unawares And our hearts are made to bleed for a thoughtless word or deed; And we wonder why the test when we try to do our best But we'll understand it better by and by By and by, when the morning comes When the saints of God are gathered home We'll tell the story how we've overcome For we'll understand it better by and by
