First Friday of Advent: "Tunnel" by Third Day

Sorry this post it two days late.  This is a long time favorite of mine.  I heard this live and it was incredible.

The Lyrics:

I won't pretend to know what you're thinking 
I can't begin to know what you're going through 
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've told you 
There's so much you're 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 
Shinin' bright at the end of this tunnel 
For you, for you 
So keep holdin' on 

You've 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 
Brings a new life for your eyes to see 

So remember what I've told you 
There's so much you're living for

Reflection:

The words sort of speak for themselves here.  But the first verse is just being there for someone and giving them hope without trying to give advice or saying it will all be okay.  This song acknowledges life can suck but there is hope and there is light.  Advent is about hope and light so this song is perfect for this season.  The second verse tells it how is it, that we have sorrows but if we can give them over to Jesus than tomorrow will be a little better.
