THE LIGHTHOUSE


Words & Music by Ronnie Hinson


Listen to the tune

1. There's a light-house 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 wasn't for the lighthouse, my ship would be no more.

CHORUS:
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 shone a light around me that I could clearly see,
If it wasn't for the light house, tell me, where would this ship be?

2. Ev'rybody that lives about us says, tear that light-house down,
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.

CHORUS:
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 shone a light around me that I could clearly see,
If it wasn't for the light house, tell me, where would this ship be?
