The Lighthouse

(1) 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 o'er.

If it weren't for the lighthouse, my ship would be no more.

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 weren't for the lighthouse, tell me where would this ship be?

(2) Everybody who lives around us says, "Tear that lighthouse down.

The big ships don't sail this way anymore; there's no use of it standing 'round.

But 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.
