Lyrics
Lighthouse
TSC 2002
Qwitcher Dayjob Music (BMI)
(verse 1)
I am not a weathervane
Changing with the wind
I know which way?s north and which is south
I am not a candle
Threatened by the breeze
The fire inside me cannot be blown out
(chorus)
I?m a lighthouse
Shining ?cross the sea
I?m a lighthouse
God?s love burns in me
Storms will rage, people fade
Only God remains
Nothing in this world can dim the flame
Of a lighthouse
(verse 2)
There?s no halo on my head
I have feet of clay
And planted on His solid rock they stand
Some days I?m a flicker
Others neon bright
Nothing changes what and whose I am
(chorus)
(verse 3)
Constant as the ocean
I am steadfast as a stone
I have a firm foundation for my heart
When I leave this earth and
My bones will turn to dust
But my spirit will live on beyond the stars
(chorus)
