Listen to this old song, [C] The Lighthouse.
[G] [C] There's a lighthouse [Em] [A#] upon the [G] hillside
[F] That overlooks [C] life's sea
And when I'm tossed, you know he sent down that big old light
[D] Well, it's a light that I [G] might see
[C] And the light [G] that shines [C] in darkness now, [F] Lord
One day it's gonna take [D] me on home
But I [C] get to thinking about this
[G] If it wasn't for [C] that old [A] lighthouse
[G] Well, you know this old ship, it could [C] never keep sailing on
[A] You know [D] now everybody [A] that [D] lives around us, all [G] around us
They say, why don't you just go [D] ahead and tear [A] that old lighthouse [D] down
We [F#m] all know the [D] big ships, they don't sail by this way [E] anymore
Oh, there ain't no use in that [A] old thing standing round
But [D] here in my mind, it [A] goes [D] back to that stormy night
[G] We're just in time, [E] thank God this boy showed that light
You [D] know what church, the best [A] [D] thing about that old lighthouse
He's still [A] standing way up there, oh yeah
[D] And I thank [A] God for [D] the lighthouse
For [G] I owe my life [D] to [E] him
For [D]
[A] he's the [D] sin's delight
Oh, [E] and from the rocks [A] of sin
[B] For he [D] has shown his light around [E] me
[G] That I can live [D] this [E] way
If [D] it [A] wasn't [D] for the lighthouse
Then [A] tell me, where would this [D] ship be?
[G]
[A] [D] Come on, give Jesus Christ a great big hand as that's a praise tonight
[G] [C] There's a lighthouse [Em] [A#] upon the [G] hillside
[F] That overlooks [C] life's sea
And when I'm tossed, you know he sent down that big old light
[D] Well, it's a light that I [G] might see
[C] And the light [G] that shines [C] in darkness now, [F] Lord
One day it's gonna take [D] me on home
