The Lighthouse

 Yesterday's post reminded me of another old song -- The Lighthouse

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 us o'er

If it wasn't for the lighthouse

My ship would be no more

2

It seems that every one about us says,

Tear that old lighthouse down

The big ships don't pass this way anymore

There's no use in it standin' round.

Then my mind goes back to that stormy night

When just in time I saw the light

The light from that old lighthouse

That stands up on the hill

CHORUS

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 might clearly see

If it wasn't for the lighthouse

Where would this ship be?

Here's what I would call a "vintage" video, sung by the writer of this song, and his brothers and sister.

The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light ~Isaiah 9:2

Isaiah 9:2

The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.

John 8:12

Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
