Sunday Reflection - Lighthouse on the Hillside Poem


Lighthouse on the Hillside Poem

HERE IS A LIGHT HOUSE ON THE HILLSIDE

THAT OVER LOOKS LIFE'S SEA

AND WHEN MY SOUL IS TOSSED,

IT SENDS OUT A LIGHT, SO THAT I MIGHT SEE


AND THE LIGHT THAT SHINES IN DARKNESS

NOW SAFELY LEADS ME HOME

AND IF IT WASN'T FOR THE LIGHTHOUSE

THIS SHIP WOULD BE NO MORE.


EVERYBODY THAT LIVES AROUND US

SAYS TEAR THAT LIGHT HOUSE DOWN

CAUSE THE BIG SHIPS DON'T PASS THIS WAY ANYMORE

THERE'S NO USE OF IT HANGING ROUND.


BUT MY MIND GOES BACK TO ONE STORMY NIGHT

WHEN JUST IN TIME, I SAW THE LIGHT

IT WAS THE LIGHT FROM THAT OLD LIGHTHOUSE

THERE UP ON THE HILL.


I THANK GOD FOR THE LIGHT HOUSE

I OWE MY LIFE TO HIM

FOR JESUS IS THE LIGHTHOUSE

AND FROM THE ROCKS OF SIN


HE HAS SHOWN A LIGHT AROUND ME

SO THAT I MIGHT CLEARLY SEE

AND IF IT WASN'T FOR THAT LIGHTHOUSE

WHERE WOULD THIS SHIP BE.
