There`s a lighthouse on the hillside
that overlooks life`s sea
When I`m tossed it sends out light,
light that I might see
And the light that shines in darkness now
will safely lead me o`er
If it wasn`t for that lighthouse
my ship would be no more.

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 the light around me
that I might clearly see
And if it wasn`t for the lighthouse
then where would this ship be?

Everybody that lives around us
said tear that old lighthouse down
The big ships don`t sail this way anymore,
there`s no use in it standing around
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...

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 the light around me
that I might clearly see
And if it wasn`t for the lighthouse
then where would this ship be?
