The Lighthouse
DThere's a lighthouse on the Dsus4hillsiDde G  
And it overlooks life's Dsea.
When I'm tossed you know it sends out a light E  
A light that AI might A7see.
DAnd the light that shines Dsus4in darkDness now   Gwill safely lead me Ehome,
And I Dknow, I know If it wasn't for the lighthouse, A  
I know my A7ship would sail no Dmore.
DNow everybody that lives Dsus4around Dus, all around uGs 
Well they all say Dtear the lighthouse down, and they say
We all know the big ships they don't sail by this way anymore, E  
There just ain't no use in that Apoor old thing standing A7round 
But then Dmy mind goes way on back to thaDsus4t stormy niDght, Gwhen I
when just in time thank EGod I saw the light
DDon?t you know it was the light from that old lighthouse, 
that Astands up A7there yes it does Don the hill.
And I thank GDod for The Dsus4LighthouDse, I Gowe my life to DHim.
Jesus is The Dsus4LighthoDuse and Efrom the rocks of Asin,
DHe has shown the light Dsus4around Dme, so that GI might clearly Dsee.
If it wasn't for The Dsus4LighthouDse, WAhere would A7this ship bDe?
And I Dthank God for The Dsus4LighthouDse, I Gowe my life to DHim.
Jesus is The Dsus4LighthousDe and Efrom the rocks of Asin,
DHe has shown the light Dsus4around Dme, so that GI might clearly Dsee.
If it wasn't for The Dsus4LighthouDse, WAhere would A7this ship Dbe?
