Bill Gaither Music The Lighthouse Lyrics

There's a lighthouse on the hillside
And it overlooks life sea
When I'm tossed, you know it sends out a light
A light that I might see
And the light that shines in darkness
Now will safely lead me on
And I know if it weren't for the lighthouse
I know my ship would sail no more

Now everybody that lives around us
All around us
WEll they all say tear the lighthouse down
And they say, we all know the big ships
They don't sail by this way anymore
Just ain't no use that old thing standing around
Then my mind goes back to that stormy night
When just in time Thank God I saw the Light
Don't you know if iti wasn't for the Light
From that Ol' lighthouse
And it still stands on the hill

And I thank God for the Lighthouse
I owe my life to Him
Jesus is the Lighthouse
From the rocks of sin
He has shown the Light around me
That I might clearly see
If it wasn't for the Lighthouse
Where would this ship be?
