I WILL BE YOUR LIGHTHOUSE

Lyrics by Peter Merz    Music by Mark E. Ellis

I've seen you struggling to stay afloat.
I've seen you standing against the tide.
I've seen you frightened by all your ghosts.
I've seen every tear you've cried.
But in the tempest, in the storm
I am near you, I am close.
Even there where fear is born
I’m a blazing Beacon of Hope.
I will be your Lighthouse
In the dark night of your soul.
 
Even when you drift alone,
Tossed to and fro by angry waves.
And you feel so far from home
That you don't know if you can be brave.
There in the tempest, in the storm
I am near you, I am close.
Even there where fear is born
I’m a blazing Beacon of Hope.
I will be your Lighthouse
In the dark night of your soul.

INSTRUMENTAL
 
When the stars refuse to shine
You’ll still see My love and grace.
For even in your darkest time
A holy light shines from my face.
When the angry billows roll
I’m still near you, I’m still close.
Even there where fear is born
I’m a blazing beacon of hope.
I will be your Lighthouse
In the dark night of your soul.
I will be your Lighthouse
In the dark night of your soul.
