Lighthouse Lyrics

Diane asked if I knew the name of the song the lady sang in the preceding post. I didn't, but it must be Lighthouse, as these are the words. Found them here.

There's a Lighthouse on the hillside
That over looks 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 shown a light around me
That I could clearly see
If it wasn't for the Lighthouse (tell me)
Where would this ship be?

Everybody that lives about us
Says tear that Lighthouse 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

Repeat Chorus (x2)

Thank You Shirl.

I don't think we have ever sung that song. I was looking for my old hymn book last night, still can't find it but I am going to keep looking.

Good words in this song. ;)
