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

[Man speaks]
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?
