There's a Lighthouse on the hillside 
 That over looks life's sea 
 And when I'm tossed it sends out a light 
 A light that I might see 
 And the light that shines in darkness now 
 Will safely lead us o'er 
 If it wasn't for the Lighthouse 
 My ship would be no more 
    Chorus: 
 And I thank God for the Lighthouse (I owe it all to Him) 
 I owe my life to Him (for Jesus is the Lighthouse) 
 For Jesus is the Lighthouse (and from the rocks of sin) 
 And from the rocks of sin (He has shown His light) 
 He has shown a light around me (that I might clearly see) 
 That I might clearly see 
 If it wasn't for the Lighthouse (tell me) 
 Where would this ship be?   
 Well, everybody that lives about us 
 They say tear that Lighthouse down 
 You know the big ships don't sail this way anymore 
 There's no use of it standing round 
 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   
 Repeat Chorus   
 If it wasn't for the Lighthouse (tell me) 
 Where would this ship be?
