There's a lighthouse on the hillside

That overlooks life's sea

When I'm tossed it sends out

A light that I mighty see

And the light that shines in darkness

Now will safely lead me hole

If it wasn't for the lighthouse

My ship would be no more



It seems that everybody about us say: "Tear that old lighthouse down. The big ships they just don't pass this way anymore. So there's no use in it standing around."

But then my mind goes back to that one darn storm 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 the light around me

That I mighty clearly see

If it wasn't for the lighthouse

Tell me: where would this ship be?
