THE LIGHTHOUSE

THE LIGHTHOUSE


The lighthouse stands by stormy sea
It's beacon goes before me, in wind, rain
And stormy gale, pounding against the
Lighthouse with such vicious ferocity,

Jesus calls out "peace be still," and the
Wind and sea obey him, but the vessel
That chooses to go it alone without the
Beacon's light, finds Itself stranded and

Dashed upon the stone into a million
Pieces of debris, never reaching It's
Destiny....but the lighthouse stands as
Reminder, to follow the light of Christ!

A lighthouse is a tall tower with a bright light located at the top. The lighthouse itself is located in a very dangerous or important area to help navigate travel over the water. The main purposes of a lighthouse are to be an aid in navigating ships and boats, and also to warn them of dangerous areas that the vessels are approaching. -- Cheryl
