Christian Stories

The Lighthouse

There's a lighthouse on the hillside
That over looks 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 on.
If it wasn't for the lighthouse,
My ship would sail no more.

Everybody that lives around us
Says tear that lighthouse down.
The big ships they don't sail this way anymore;
There's no need 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 lighthouse
That stands up there on the hill.

And I thank God for the lighthouse;
I owe my life to Him.
For Jesus is the lighthouse
That thrown the rocks of sin.

He has shone a light around me
That I could clearly see.
And if it wasn't for the lighthouse,
Where would this ship be?
