My wife and I were visiting friends and had gone to church with them. The preacher was talking about lighthouses and how we as Christians should let our lights shine. By the time the message was over, I had written the chorus. At home after lunch, the verses. I recorded it that week in my home studio.
Lyrics
A SHIP LOST IN THE FOG
LOOKS FOR A LIGHT FROM THE SHORE
A SOUL LOST IN THE WORLD
NEEDS A LIGHT WORTH LIVING FOR
BE A LIGHTHOUSE
LET YOUR LOVE FOR GOD SHINE
BE A LIGHTHOUSE
YOU SHOW YOURS AND I’LL SHOW MINE
OUR LIGHTS WILL BE A BEACON
TO GUIDE THE LOST BACK HOME
AND BRING BACK TO JESUS WHAT’S HIS OWN
A CHILD LOST IN THE WOODS
LOOKS FOR A LIGHT AMONGST THE TREES
A MAN WHO’S HEART’S IN PAIN
LOOKS FOR A LIGHT FROM ON HIS KNEES
(REPEAT CHORUS)
NATIONS WHO TURN TO HATE
NEED TO SEE THE LIGHT OF LOVE
A WORLD LOST IN THE DARK
LOOKS FOR LIGHT FROM UP ABOVE
(REPEAT CHORUS TO FADE)
