Lake Superior @Whitefish Point

an old, old church song...
The Lighthouse...
There's a lighthouse on the hillside
That overlooks the sea
When I'm tossed it sends out a light
That I might see
And the light that shines in darkness now
Will safely lead me o'er
If it wasn't for the lighthouse
My ship would be no more
(Narrative)
It seems that everybody about us says
Tear that old lighthouse down
The big ships just don't pass this way anymore
So there's no use in standing around
Then my mind goes back to that one dark, stormy night
When just in time, I saw the light
Yes, it was the light from that old lighthouse
That stands up there on the hill
And I thank God for the lighthouse
I owe my life to Him
Jesus is the Lighthouse
And from the rocks of sin
He has shown a light around me
That I might clearly see
If it wasn't for the lighthouse
Tell me where would this ship be?
I thank God for the lighthouse
I owe my life to Him
Jesus is the Lighthouse
And from the rocks of sin
He has shown a light around me
That I might clearly see
If it wasn't for the lighthouse
Tell me where would this ship be?

I love the line, "if it wasn't for the lighthouse, where would this ship be. That's the story of a saved life, isn't it? What a beautiful poem. Thanks for posting!
Thankfully, I am a Yooper and can enjoy many lighthouses along Lake Superior! Beautiful pic!
Beautiful. The photography and the image a lighthouse represents; safety, warmth, peace and hope in the midst of a storm. I'm thankful that Jesus is our lighthouse...
