"There's a light at the end of the tunnel, there's love that's awaiting me there, all cares and troubles I will leave behind as I climb the golden stair. There's a light at the end of the tunnel, there to meet my Lord face to face, and I'll be in the Home that I longed for, saved by His heavenly grace." -Helen Parker
