Looking Down the Tunnel

Track Info:

Release Date: July 20, 2012

Intro:

You know, everyone’s always got questions about God like,
“If God’s real.. then why did He allow my dad to die, or my friends to pass away”
Or like you know the saying like, Why do the good die young?”
But It’s because God works through our PAIN,
You know, God knows our weak areas in our life, and He allows these things to happen
to bring us closer to Him

For those that don’t believe that Christ is real, He is the only Hope that we will ever have.
Now is the time to seek and worship the Lord,
Cause God promises that there will be a time when there is a famine,
Now this isn’t a food famine, but a famine about hearing the Word of God.
So you must seek the Lord while He is near cause you never know what tomorrow brings.

We are all without excuse, just look outside your window.
You know, like look at the creation, how did it get there?
How are you and I on this earth? — Did buddah create this?
No, God says He creates it in the first pages of the Bible,
People just don’t want to believe.

I’ve heard many times people say, “I’m just not ready for God in my life”,

So I have a question for all those that don’t believe..

What if you died tomorrow, everything you have ever planned in life would be gone,
Everything you’ve planned about school, what you want to be, the family you want to have, the car you want to drive,
You know like how many times have you made plans and they just don’t work out,
Or have had health issues that medicine just couldn’t fix,

We have no control in this life,
God is for us if we are for Him,
There is no “one foot in the world, and one foot with God”,
You are either for Him or against Him,
So choose wisely.. (choose wisely)

Verse 1:
My Father in Heaven, is so gracious to me,
Bringing me through the dark to make these eyes see,
People ask why, God allows pain,
But without this pain (this pain), we’ll just remain the same (the same),
Stuck in our ways, the last place I want to be,
You sent me to Babylon that I may be free,
From all these addictions that sucked me in,
But that’s what sin is..
It’s fun until you’ve fallen in!

Chorus:
I’m looking down the tunnel,
Surrounded by the dark,
But if I look close, I can see a light,
God wants to show me something where I’m at,
If you look close, it could be lying in your lap.

Bridge:
I can only go hard for the Lord cause where I’ve been at,
(Cause where I’ve been, cause where I’ve been at),
He’s put me through His pain, for when He comes back,
(For when He, for when He comes back),

Verse 2:
Here in my tunnel,
I’m squinting for the light, cause it’s barely in sight,
God what are you trying to show me,
I just don’t get it.. This isn’t what the preacher said,
Where is the God that heals?
That provides for my needs..?
They make it look so easy on TV,
But now through my pain, I can help those in need,
And have compassion on the hurting,
Cause through our pain, we see!

Chorus:
I’m looking down the tunnel,
Surrounded by the dark,
But if I look close, I can see a light,
God wants to show me something where I’m at,
If you look close, it could be lying in your lap.

Bridge:
I can only go hard for the Lord cause where I’ve been at,
(Cause where I’ve been, cause where I’ve been at),
He’s put me through His pain, for when He comes back,
(For when He, for when He comes back),

Verse 3:
For when we see face to face, I will be unashamed,
Don’t be intimidated, just let your ears hear,
When your trials come you know God is pulling you near, into His bosom,
Away from your idols,

You see that christmas tree? That’s a lie son (that’s a lie, that’s a lie son),
Our God is jealous and requires perfection,
He’s given us Jesus, now you know our direction.

Because of the nails in His palms,
The crucifixcion foretold in the psalms,
The Blood that was shed for all our sins,
The son of God did it, that all men may live (The Son of God did it).

Chorus:
I’m looking down the tunnel,
Surrounded by the dark,
But if I look close, I can see a light,
God wants to show me something where I’m at,
If you look close, it could be lying in your lap.
