A Light At The End Of The Tunnel Theres a light at the end of the tunnel,
Theres love that awaits me there. All cares and troubles I will leave behind,
As I climb the golden stair. Theres a light at the end of the tunnel,
There to meet my Lord face to face. And Ill be in the home that I longed for,
Saved by his heavenly grace.
