[Bb] [Eb] Last week [Ab] we had the quarters and the week before we [Eb] had the dimes.
[Bb] Next [Ab] week we're having the pennies, but [Eb] today we got the [Ab] nickels.
[Bb]
Please [Gm] welcome the Nickel family [Ab] and Tony [Eb] Nickel as they sing for us.
Thank you for giving.
[Ab] Thank you for [Eb] sowing.
[G]
[Em] [Am]
[Dm]
[Bb] We used to [E] sing together years and years ago.
We're going to draw one out of the hat [N] from years and years ago.
I told them at lunch today, I had their lunch ready and we were laughing and talking.
I said, one night Michael pulled out all these old songs
and Jeff turned to everybody and said,
Woo, sweating to the oldies tonight.
This [G]
old song we used to sing years ago, so [Bb] I'm going to let Keith take the lead on it.
[C] By the way, this is my whole family.
Am I blessed or what?
Who loved me, my mom, [F] my dad and his wife and his sister and [G] my brother.
I'm so fortunate in [C] how it is.
[A] [Dm] [G]
[C]
[Em] [Am] [G]
There's [C] a lighthouse on the [E] hillside
[F] That overlooks [C] the live sea
And when I'm tossed, [G] [Am] it sends out a [D]
light
That I [G]
might see
[B] [G] [C] And the light that shines in darkness [D] [C] now
[F] Will safely lead [Fm] me home
[C] If it [Em] wasn't [G] for [Am] the lighthouse
[Dm] My ship [G] would sail [C] no more
[Dm]
[C] [G]
[C] Now [Em] everybody that [C] lives around us
[F] Says tear that [C] old lighthouse [Am]
down
[C] Because the big [G] ships, they don't sail [Am] by this way anymore
[D] And there's no use in it [G] standing round
[Dm] [B] But then [C] my mind goes back to the stormy night
[F] When just in time [Fm] I saw the light
[C] And the light [G] from [Am] that old lighthouse
[Dm] Still [G] stands up there [C] on a [Bb] hill
[G] And I [C] thank God [G]
for [C] the lighthouse
[Gm]
[E] [F] I owe [Dm] my [C] life to him
[Em] Jesus lives [Am] in the lighthouse
[D] And from the [A] rocks [G] of sin
He [C] has [G] shown his [C] light around [Dm]
[G] me
[F] That I [C]
could clearly see
If it [G]
wasn't [Am] for the lighthouse
[G] Where would this [C] ship be?
[G]
[C]
[G] That [C] lives around [D] us
[E] They [F] say tear [C] that old lighthouse
[Am] down
[G] [C] Because the big ships, [Em]
they don't [Am] sail by this way anymore
And [D] there's no use in it [G] standing round
But then [C] my mind [Em] goes back [C] to the [E] stormy night
[F] When just in time [Fm] I saw the [C] light
And the light from [Am] that old lighthouse
It [Dm] still [G] stands up there [C] on a hill
[G] And I [C] thank [G] God for [C] the lighthouse
[D] [Em]
[F] I owe my [G]
life [C] to him
[Dm] [C] [G] Jesus [Am] lives in the lighthouse
[D] And from the [Am] rocks [G] of sin
[A] He [C] has [G] shown his light [C] around [Dm] [Em] me
[F] That I could [C] clearly see
If it [Bm] wasn't [Am] for the lighthouse
[G] Where would this [C] ship be?
And [B] if [C] it [G] wasn't [Am] for the lighthouse
[G] Where would this ship [C] be?
