The Lighthouse

Intro: 

D E A D E A


Verse 1:

         D                               G                D
There's a lighthouse on the hillside that overlooks life’s sea
                                   E             A
When I'm tossed it sends out a light that I might see
       D                    D7                G                E7
And the light that shines in darkness now will safely lead us o'er
      D                           A7               D
If it wasn't for the lighthouse my ship would be no more


Verse 2:

                     D7            G                    D
Everybody that lives around us says tear that lighthouse down
                                                 E                    A
The big ships they don't sail by this way anymore, ain't no use of it standing 'round
       D                     D7                 G            E
And my mind goes back to that stormy night, when just in time I saw the light
       D                                    A7                     D
Yes the light from that old lighthouse, that stands up there on the hill

Chorus:

           D   A       D            G             D
And I thank God for the lighthouse I owe my life to Him
   D     A      D              E                 A
For Jesus is the lighthouse and from the rocks of sin
      D         A       D            G               D
He has shown the light around me that I could clearly see
     D      A       D                  A                     D      G A
