LIGHTHOUSE

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
Who forgives all thy iniquities; who heals all thy diseases;

Psalm 103: 2-3 KJV

It is Old Georgetown Lighthouse at Shell Island

THE LIGHTHOUSE

There's a lighthouse on a hillside
that overlooks life's sea.
When I'm tossed He sends out a light,
light that I might see.
And the light that shines in darkness now
Will safely lead me on
If it wasn't for the lighthouse
This ship would sail no more.

Oh I thank God for the lighthouse
I owe my life to Him
King Jesus is the lighthouse
Upon the rocks of sin
He has shone a light around me
That I could clearly see
If it wasn't for the lighthouse
Then where would this ship be.

Everybody that lives around us
says tear the lighthouse down
You know the big ships
they don't sail by this way no more
so what's the use of it standing 'round?
Ahh, but then my mind goes way on back
to that stormy night,
when just in time, oh thank God I saw the light
T'was the light from that old lighthouse
that still stands up there on a hill.

Oh, If it wasn't for the lighthouse
Then where would this ship be.

The Lord is my light and my salvation - whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life.

Lighthouse

The Lord is my lighthouse and my rescue ship:

what storm can terrify me?

The Lord is the anchor of my life:

what person or circumstance can make me panic?

When bad things happen that would snatch away my peace of mind,

strip me of self-respect, or rob me of health they all fail miserably.

Though an entire army of problems closes in on me, my inner being is calm.

Though the while world declares war against me, I still have confidence.

There is one request that I have made of the Lord-- it is the longing of m heart--

that I may live in His presence continually,

that I may see with my own eye His indescribable glory and loveliness,

and that I may come to know Him better and better.

Then when bad things come, they won't bother me because the Lord himself will be my haven.

He will hide me in the secret place of His own eternal presence where nothing can touch me.

He will lift me above my problems.

At last I will triumph over all the old fears and doubts that have defeated me so long.

In joyful thanksgiving I will burst into songs of praise to the Lord.

I will tell everyone I meet how good God is!
