I am a lighthouse, a shining and bright house,
out in the waves of a stormy sea.
The oil of the Spirit keeps my lamp burning:
Jesus my Lord is the light in me.
And when people see the good things that I do,
they’ll give praise to God who sent us Jesus.
We’ll send out a lifeboat of love and forgiveness
and give them a hand to get in.I am a lighthouse, a shining and bright house,
