~THE LIGHTHOUSE~

THERE'S A LIGHT HOUSE ON THE HILL SIDE
THAT OVER LOOKS LIFE'S SEAS
WHEN I AM TOSSED IT SENDS OUT A LIGHT
THAT I MIGHT SEE
AND THE LIGHT THAT SHINES IN DARKNESS
NOW WILL SAFELY LEAD ME ON
IF IT WASN'T FOR THE LIGHTHOUSE
MY SHIP WOULD SAIL NO MORE
EVERYBODY THAT LIVES AROUND IT
SAYS TEAR THAT LIGHT HOUSE DOWN
THE BIG SHIPS THEY DON'T SAIL THIS WAY ANYMORE
THERE'S NO USE OF IT STANDING ROUND
BUT THEN MY MIND GOES BACK TO THAT
STORMY NIGHT WHEN JUST IN TIME I SAW THE LIGHT
OH, THE LIGHT FROM THAT OLD LIGHT HOUSE
THAT STANDS UP THERE ON THE HILL.
AND, I THANK GOD FOR THE LIGHT HOUSE
I OWE MY LIFE TO HIM
FOR JESUS IS THE LIGHTHOUSE
THAT SURROUNDS THE ROCKS OF SIN
HE HAS SHOWN A LIGHT AROUND ME
THAT I COULD CLEARLY SEE
AND IF IT WEREN'T FOR THE LIGHT HOUSE
WHERE WOULD THIS SHIP BE?
AND IF WEREN'T FOR THE LIGHT HOUSE
WHERE WOULD THIS SHIP BE?

I think about this song when I am reliving the past. Without God, I know for certain that this ship would have sunk. Many times I have come so close to crashing on the rocks of sin. However, God sent you to help steer me the right way. I thank God for you and I am so thankful you are my friend.
