There's a lighthouse 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 me on.
If it wasn't for the lighthouse
My ship would sail no more.
Everybody that lives around us
Says tear that lighthouse down.
The big ships don't sail this way anymore,
There's no need of it standing 'round.
But then my mind goes back to that stormy night
When just in time I saw the light,
Oh, the 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 shone a light around me
That I could clearly see;
And if it wasn't for the Lighthouse,
Where would this ship be?
If it wasn't for the Lighthouse,
Where would this ship be?
