Lyrics
There?s a Lighthouse on the hillside
That over-looks life?s sea.
When I?m tossed it sends out a light
That I might see.
And the light that shines in darkness now,
Will safely lead us o?er.
If it wasn?t for the Lighthouse,
My ship would be no more
Chorus:
And I thank God for the Lighthouse
I owe my life to Him.
For Jesus is the Lighthouse
And from the rocks of sin.
He has shone a light around me
That I could clearly see.
If it wasn?t for the Lighthouse
Tell me, where would this ship be?
Ev?rybody that lives about us says
?Tear that Lighthouse down.?
The big ships don?t sail this way anymore
There?s no use of it standing ?round.
Then my mind goes back
To that stormy night
When just in time I saw the Light.
Yes, the Light from that old Lighthouse
That stands up there on the hill.
Chorus:
And I thank God for the Lighthouse
I owe my life to Him.
For Jesus is the Lighthouse
And from the rocks of sin.
He has shone a Light around me
That I could clearly see.
If it wasn?t for the Lighthouse
Tell me, where would this ship be?
If it wasn?t for the Lighthouse
Tell me, where would this ship be?
Yes the Light from that old Lighthouse
Clearly shines for you and me
