Verse 1

C                                       F             C
There's a lighthouse on a hillside that overlooks the sea
                                     D7           G7
When I'm tossed it sends out a light that I might see
        C                                      F              C
But the light that shines in darkness now will safely lead us o'er
                                G7                  C
If it wasn't for the lighthouse my ship would be no more

Verse 2

                                     F              C
And I thank God for the lighthouse I owe my life to Him
                                D7                G7
For Jesus is the lighthouse and from the rocks of sin
       C                            F             C
He has shown a light around me that I can clearly see
                                        G7                    C
If it wasn't for the lighthouse tell me where would this ship be

Verse 3

                                   F                    C
Everybody that lives about us says tear that lighthouse down
The big ships don't sail this way anymore
        D7                     G7
There's no use of it standing 'round
       C
And my mind goes back to the stormy night
     F            C
When just in time I saw the light
Yes the light from that old lighthouse
     G7                     C
That stands up there on the hill

Verse 2

                                     F              C
And I thank God for the lighthouse I owe my life to Him
                                D7                G7
For Jesus is the lighthouse and from the rocks of sin
       C                            F             C
He has shown a light around me that I can clearly see
                                        G7                    C
If it wasn't for the lighthouse tell me where would this ship be

And I thank God for the lighthouse I owe my life to Him
                                D7                G7
For Jesus is the lighthouse and from the rocks of sin
       C                            F             C

                                        G7                    C
If it wasn't for the lighthouse tell me where would this ship be
