THERE IS A LIGHT HOUSE ON THE HILLSIDE
THAT OVER LOOKS LIFE'S SEA
AND WHEN MY SOUL IS TOSSED,
IT SENDS OUT A LIGHT, SO THAT I MIGHT SEE
AND THE LIGHT THAT SHINES IN DARKNESS
NOW SAFELY LEADS ME HOME
AND IF IT WASN'T FOR THE LIGHTHOUSE
THIS SHIP WOULD BE NO MORE.
EVERYBODY THAT LIVES AROUND US
SAYS TEAR THAT LIGHT HOUSE DOWN
CAUSE THE BIG SHIPS DON'T PASS THIS WAY ANYMORE
THERE'S NO USE OF IT HANGING ROUND.
BUT MY MIND GOES BACK TO ONE
STORMY NIGHT
WHEN JUST IN TIME, I SAW THE LIGHT
IT WAS THE LIGHT FROM THAT OLD LIGHTHOUSE
THERE UP ON THE HILL.
I THANK GOD FOR THE LIGHT HOUSE
I OWE MY LIFE TO HIM
FOR JESUS IS THE
LIGHTHOUSE
AND FROM THE ROCKS OF SIN
HE HAS SHOWN A LIGHT AROUND ME
SO THAT I MIGHT CLEARLY SEE
AND IF IT WASN'T FOR THAT LIGHTHOUSE
WHERE WOULD THIS SHIP BE.
