Sometimes life feels like we’re going through a tunnel; a time in our lives so full of dissapointment, sorrow, and misery that it feels like there’s no end in sight. I was going through a period like this 5-6 months ago, and a friend recommended that I listen to this song:

It’s called “Tunnel” from the album “Wherever You Are” by Third Day, and here are the lyrics:

Well I won’t pretend to know what you’re thinking
And I can’t begin to know what you’re going through
And I won’t deny the pain that you’re feeling
But I’m gonna try and give a little hope to you
Just remember what I told you
There’s so much your living for

There’s a light at the end of this tunnel
There’s a light at the end of this tunnel for you
For you
There’s a light at the end of this tunnel
Shining bright at the end of this tunnel for you
For you
So keep holding on

You got your disappointments and sorrows
You ought to share the weight of that load with me
Then you will find that the light of tomorrow
Well it brings new life for your eyes to see
So remember what i told you
There’s so much your living for

There’s a light at the end of this tunnel
There’s a light at the end of this tunnel for you
For you
There’s a light at the end of this tunnel
Shining bright at the end of this tunnel for you
For you
So keep holding on
Keep holding on

So remember what i told you
There’s so much your living for

There’s a light at the end of this tunnel
There’s a light at the end of this tunnel for you
For you yeah
There’s a light at the end of this tunnel
Shinging bright at the end of this tunnel for you
For you yeah
There’s a light at the end of this tunnel ooh
For you, for you yeah
Shinging bright at the end of this tunnel
For you, for you
So keep holding on
Keep holding on
Keep holding on now

You got your disappointments and sorrows
I’m gonna try and give a little hope to you

In our sinful and human nature, it is usually our first instinct to blame someone when we’re in trouble (and unfortunately, the easiest person to blame for most people is God). I hope this song will remind us that no matter how painful or bleak our current situation is, if we place our trust in God, He will protect us.

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” — Deuteronomy 31:6

Great job Third Day!
