The Lighthouse
by Ronnie Hinson ©1970 as recorded by The Florida Boys
Verse 1:
D MajorD
There's a lighthouse on a hillside
G+G D MajorD
That overlooks life's sea.
E MajorE
When I'm tossed it sends out a light
A augmentedA
that I might see.
D MajorD G+G E MajorE
And the light that shines in darkness now, will safely lead me home,
D MajorD
If it wasn't for the lighthouse,
A7A7 D MajorD
my ship would sail no more.
Refrain:
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
And I thank God for The Lighthouse, I owe my life to Him.
E MajorE A augmentedA
For Jesus is The Lighthouse and from the rocks of sin,
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
He has shone the light around me that I might clearly see.
A7A7 D MajorD
If it wasn't for The Lighthouse, tell me where would this ship be?
Verse 2:
D MajorD
Now everybody that lives around us,
G+G D MajorD
says tear that lighthouse down.
No the big ships don't sail this way anymore,
E MajorE A7A7
There’s no use of it standing ‘round
D MajorD
But then my mind goes back to that stormy night,
G+G E MajorE
when just in time I saw that old light
D MajorD
And the light from that old lighthouse,
A7A7 D MajorD
still stands there on the hill.
Refrain:
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
And I thank God for The Lighthouse, I owe my life to Him.
E MajorE A augmentedA
For Jesus is The Lighthouse and from the rocks of sin,
D MajorD G+G D MajorD
He has shone the light around me that I might clearly see.
A7A7 D MajorD
If it wasn't for The Lighthouse, tell me where would this ship be?
A7A7 D MajorD
Yes if it wasn't for The Lighthouse, tell me where would this ship be?
