"THE LIGHTHOUSE"

ron singing

THERE'S A LIGHTHOUSE ON A HILLSIDE THAT OVERLOOKS LIFE'S SEA
WHEN I'M TOSSED, IT SENDS OUT A LIGHT
SO 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.

AND I THANK GOD FOR THE LIGHT HOUSE, I OWE MY LIFE TO HIM
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 TELL ME, WHERE WOULD THIS SHIP BE?

EVERYBODY WHO LIVES AROUND ME WANTS TO TEAR THE LIGHTHOUSE DOWN
THE BIG SHIPS DON'T SAIL THIS WAY ANYMORE,
AIN'T NO USE IN IT'S STANDIN' ROUND
THEN MY MIND GOES BACK TO THAT STORMY NIGHT,
WHEN JUST IN TIME I SAW THE LIGHT
THE LIGHT FROM THAT OLD LIGHTHOUSE THAT STANDS UPON THE HILL.

AND I THANK GOD FOR THE LIGHTHOUSE, I OWE MY LIFE TO HIM
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 TELL ME, WHERE WOULD THIS SHIP BE?

I THANK GOD FOR THE LIGHTHOUSE I OWE MY LIFE TO HIM
AND IF IT WASN'T FOR THE LIGHTHOUSE
TELL ME WHERE, OH WHERE WOULD THIS SHIP BE.
WHERE WOULD I BE.
