There's a lighthouse on the hillside
               G     Gm                       D       A 
And it overlooks life's sea.
       D                                                                     Bm 
And When my soul is tossed you know it sends out a light
     E                     Em             A7 
A light that I might see.
 D                                               D7                             G                                 Gm 
And the light that shines in darkness now will safely lead me home,
           D                                                                   Bm 
And I know, I know If it wasn't for the lighthouse,
                     Em                   A             D       C       D 
I know my ship would sail no more.
 D                                               D7 
Now everybody that lives around us, all around us
                                     G             Gm                       D 
Well they all say tear the lighthouse down, and they say
     D                                                                                                   Bm 
We all know the big ships they don't sail by this way anymore,
                                                                 E                                           Em 
There just ain't no use in that poor old thing standing round
                 D                                                                   D7 
But then my mind goes way on back to that stormy night, when I
           G                                           Gm 
when just in time thank God I saw the light
                                                   D                                       Bm 
Don't you know it was the light from that old lighthouse,
           Em                 A                               D 
that stands up there yes it does on the hill.
 A7                   D   A               D     D7         G                 Gm             D   A7 
And I thank God for The Lighthouse, I owe my life to Him.
   D       A           D       Bm               E                                 Em     A 
Jesus is The Lighthouse and from the rocks of sin,
             D                     A                 D   D7                     G                       Gm 
He has shown the light around me, so that I might clearly see.
             D         A               D   Bm                 Em                     A7         G     D   C   D 
If it wasn't for The Lighthouse, Where would this ship be?
 A7                   D   A               D     D7         G                 Gm             D   A7 
And I thank God for The Lighthouse, I owe my life to Him.
   D       A           D       Bm               E                                 Em     A 
Jesus is The Lighthouse and from the rocks of sin,
             D                     A                 D   D7                     G                       Gm 
He has shown the light around me, so that I might clearly see.
             D         A               D   Bm                 Em                     A7         G     D   C   D 
If it wasn't for The Lighthouse, Where would this ship be?
