[Verse 1]
There's a lighthouse on the hillside
That overlooks life’s sea
When I'm tossed it sends out a light
That I might see
And the light that shines in darkness now
Will safely lead me o're
If it wasn’t for the lighthouse
My ship would be no more

[Spoken]
It seems that everybody about us says:
"Tear that old lighthouse down
The big ships just don't pass this way anymore
So there's no use in it standin' around."
Then my mind goes back to that one dark, stormy night
When just in time, I saw the light
Yes, it was the light from that old lighthouse
That stands up there on the hill

[Verse 2]
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 a light around me
That I mighty clearly see
If it wasn't for the lighthouse
Tell me: Where would this ship be?
[Verse 3]
I thank God for the lighthouse
