There's a Lighthouse on the hillside That over looks life's sea And 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 us home If it wasn't for the Lighthouse My ship would be no more
Chorus: And I thank God for the Lighthouse (I owe it all to Him) I owe my life to Him (for Jesus is the Lighthouse) For Jesus is the Lighthouse (and from the rocks of sin) And from the rocks of sin (He has shown His light) He has shown a light around me (that I might see) That I might clearly see If it wasn't for the Lighthouse (well tell me) Where would this ship be?
Well, everybody that lives about us They say tear that Lighthouse down You know the big ships don't sail this way anymore There's no use of it standing round Then 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
Repeat Chorus (x2)
If it wasn't for the Lighthouse (tell me) Where would this ship be?
