Melodi – Kreyol 14

Kreyol verses and chorus sung in audio clip above (there are 2 verses not sung here):
Lè zeprèv vini, nou mande pouki
Nou bezwen soufri ak kè nou tris
Poutan lèzòt yo ki anoutre nou
Ape rejwi yo menm nan peche.

Kè:
Pi devan n a wè Jezi nan glwa Li
Pi devan n ape konprann pouki
Bon kouraj, frè mwen,
Fè kè ou kontan,
Paske yon jou n a konprann pouki.

Souvan nou mande pouki nou bezwen
Pase nan wout sa a pou n suiv Jezi
Pandan lèzòt yo ap viv byen alèz
Ann bat pou cheche nanm ki pèdi.

Translation of the above words:
When trials come, we ask why
We need to suffer with our hearts sad
However others that surround us
Are rejoicing in sin.

Chorus:
Later on we will see Jesus in His glory
Later on we’ll understand why
Good courage, my brother,
Make your heart happy (rejoice),
Because one day we will understand why.

Often we ask why we need
To walk this road to follow Jesus
While others are living very comfortable
Let us strive to seek lost souls.

Lyrics from Brad Paisley: https://genius.com/Brad-paisley-farther-along-lyrics

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 though 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

[Verse 2]
When death has come and taken our loved ones
It leaves our home so lonely and drear
And then do we wonder why others prosper
Living so wicked year after year

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
When we see Jesus coming in glory
When he comes down from his home in the sky
Then we shall meet him in that bright mansion
We’ll understand it all by and by

[Chorus]
Yeah we’ll understand it all by and by
