The Lighthouse
D G D
There's a lighthouse on the hillside that overlooks life's sea.
D E A
When I'm tossed, it sends out a light that I might see.
D D7 G Em
And the light that shines in darkness now will safely lead us o'er.
D A D
If it wasn't for the lighthouse my ship would be no more.
(Chorus)
D G D
And I thank God for the lighthouse, I owe my life to Him.
D E A
For Jesus is the lighthouse and from the rocks of sin.
D G D
He has shone a light around me that I might clearly see.
D A D
If it wasn't for the lighthouse, tell me where would this ship be?
D G D
Everybody that lives around us says, "Tear that lighthouse down.
D E A
The big ships don't sail this way anymore there's no use it standing 'round".
D D7 G Em
Then my mind goes back to that stormy night when just in time I saw the Light.
D A D
Yes, the light from that old lighthouse that stands up there on the hill.
(chorus)
D A D
If it wasn't for the lighthouse, tell me where would this ship be?
