There's a lighthouse on the hillside That overlooks 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 home If it wasn't for the lighthouse My ship would be no more ♪ It seems that everybody about us says "Tear that old lighthouse down The big ships just don't pass this way anymore So there's no use in standing 'round" Then my mind goes back to that one dark stormy night When just in time, I saw the light Yes, it was the light from that old lighthouse That stands there up there on the hill And I thank God for the lighthouse I owe my life to Him Jesus is the lighthouse And from the rocks of sin He has shown a light around me That I might clearly see If it wasn't for the lighthouse (Tell me) Where would this ship be? I thank God for the lighthouse I owe my life to Him Jesus is the lighthouse And from the rocks of sin He has shown the light around me That I mighty clearly see If it wasn't for the lighthouse (Tell me) Where would this ship be?
