The Lighthouse
==============
w&m: Ronnie Hinson, 1971

[Verse 1]
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 home.
If it wasn't for the lighthouse,
my ship would sail no more.

[Refrain]
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.
If it wasn't for The Lighthouse,
where would this ship be?

[Verse 2]
Ev'ry one that lives about us says:
"Tear the lighthouse down.
The big ships don't sail this way anymore.
There's no use in it standing 'round."
But then my mind goes back to that stormy night,
when just in time I saw the light.
With the light from that old lighthouse
that stands there on the hill.

[Refrain]
