The Story Behind the Song

This is a song that Q fans have been waiting to be recorded for about 10 years.

Back in the Q days, this song was one of our big final numbers that we would always save for the encore of our shows. So, when I finally decided to record it, I knew I needed to make it a pretty big production. Thankfully, I've got plenty of talented friends who helped make the recording of this song something special.

The message is a very simple one: With Jesus in your life, there is always hope. You will always find the proverbial "light at the end of the tunnel" because the source of that light is always Jesus. He is the reason that we live and breathe, and he is everything that he promises he will be. You can't go wrong with a savior like that, can you?

The Lyrics

There's a light in the darkness!
There is hope in Jesus!

Chorus: There's a light at the end of the tunnel
That can help you find your way.
There is hope in a world of confusion
And he can make a better day.

Everybody's always looking in this world for a beacon of hope.
They put their faith in things of this world knowing they won't last.
There's a light that shines in darkness when things grow cold.
And that light will be your shelter when those storms come fast.

Chorus

One time I was walking through the valley of evil and fear.
I looked for the answers to my problems in what was wrong.
But little did I know there was light around the corner.
That light shined on me and my problems were gone.

Chorus 2x

Oh…The light. I'm talking 'bout Jesus Christ.
He's the one who'll keep you straight and help you do what's right.
Don't forget about the one who saved you,
Even when you're not the best at being faithful and true.
Step back from the darkness to where your life begins.
Don't forget: you're the one who's safe from sin.
Free to push toward what's right,
never looking back to see what you were outside the light.
Step to a different beat than the streets and
Don't pay attention when the devil cheats.
He'll see the light and try to run and hide,
Because he knows God's on your side.
You gotta GO! Go back to the one who's known as God's son.
And when your life on earth finally done…here comes a better one!

Chorus 2x
