The Lighthouse

          C                             F             C
There's a lighthouse on a hillside that overlooks the sea
                                         D7      G7
When I'm tossed it sends out a light that I might see
        C                                      F              C
But the light that shines in darkness now will safely lead us o'er
                                G7                  C
If it wasn't for the lighthouse my ship would be no more


chorus:

                                     F              C
And I thank God for the lighthouse I owe my life to Him
                                D7                G7
For Jesus is the lighthouse and from the rocks of sin
       C                            F             C
He has shown a light around me that I can clearly see
                                          G7                    C
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
        D7                     G7
There's no use of it standing 'round
       C
And my mind goes back to the stormy night
     F            C
When just in time I saw the light

Yes the light from that old lighthouse
     G7                     C
That stands up there on the hill


chorus:

                                     F              C
And I thank God for the lighthouse I owe my life to Him
                                D7                G7
For Jesus is the lighthouse and from the rocks of sin
       C                            F             C
He has shown a light around me that I can clearly see
                                          G7                    C
