There's a lighthouse on the hillside
That overlooks life's sea
When I'm tossed it sends out a light,
A light that I might see
And the light that shines in darkness
Now will safely lead me home
If it wasn't for the lighthouse
My ship would sail no more.
Everybody who lives around us
Says tear that lighthouse down
The big ships
They don't sail by this way anymore,
Ain't no use it standing around
Then my mind goes back
To the stormy night when just in time,
I saw the light,
Oh light from that old lighthouse,
That stands up there on the hill.
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 shown the light around me
That I might clearly see
If it wasn't for the lighthouse
Tell me where would this ship be?
