The Lighthouse

When I started this blog and needed to pick my wallpaper, I knew that as soon as I saw the Light House that was where I would start on this blog. I posted the song above because it is a song that I have always loved. It's not particularly a style that I listen to often, but the words are solid ~ and so is Jesus, who is the Light House.



The Lighthouse

There's a lighthouse on a 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 thru the night
If it wasn't for The Lighthouse
My ship would sail no more.


cho: And I thank God for The Lighthouse
Well, I owe my life to Him
For Jesus is The Lighthouse
And from the rocks I've seen
He has shone a light all around me
That I might clearly see
If it wasn't for The Lighthouse
Tell me where would this ship be.

Ev'rybody that lives about me
They said tear that lighthouse down
'Cause the big ships they 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 that light
Yes that light from that old lighthouse
That stands up there on the hill.

cho:

He has shone a light all around me
That I could clearly see
If it wasn't for The Lighthouse
Tell me where would this ship be.

That is a powerful song. When I think of the storms in my life when all I have known to do is to cling to the light from that Old Lighthouse that shines all about me ~ giving light to the darkness. To MY darkness. Praise God, He is faithful to meet our every need.
