Shunned At A Funeral - The Lighthouse

So this is actually one of my favorite
Songs to sing and
I thought tonight
I'd do it a little differently
I'm just going to play this one
For you on the piano
I hope you guys like it
This one is cALLED
THE LIGHTHOUSE
I KEEP THE LIGHT while the night
Holds fast
Salt and singing on the wind
Hours to think past
I know these stones, I know this flame
And singing
I've called the dark by my keeper's name
Each dawn
I climb, each dusk
I stay
Turn the glass where the breakers pray
I trace the line
Where the sea meets sky
Still learning how to wait
Not why
The horizon teaches
Faithful eyes
How hope looks small before it arrives
I've watched the storms bend
Mast and keel
Heard prayers break that sounded real
Some lights burn out
Some drift away
But this one was never mine to say
I tend the wick, I trim the glass
Not counting ships that failed to pass
If one returns by grace alone
Then all these nights were not my own
I do not set
The tide or time
I only keep the fire alive
So, I will stand and
I will
Shine, though the sea is wide
And the hours long
I will lift
To this borrowed light till the one who
Sent it comes
I will watch, I
Will remain
With oil enough
For one more dawn, for love that waits is
Not in vain, and night is never
Final dawn
If he delays, then let him delay
A thousand nights
Are still his day
I am not
Called to chase the shore, just keep the flame
Nothing more
I stand
Against the gray
A burning line where the dark
Gives way
The sea stands still, my
Vigil's done
The ship of my
Lord is coming home
I kept the light through wind and scar
Through lonely nights and distant stars
Now every watch has found
Its end
The keeper comes
For his lighthouse friend
I see the sails AGAINST THE GRAY
OF BURNING LIGHT, where the dark is waiting
The sea stands still
OUR VIGIL'S DONE
THE SHIP OF OUR
HEART IS COMING HOME
I KEPT
THE LIGHT THROUGH wind and scar
Through waiting nights and distant stars
Now every watch has found its end
The keeper comes
He comes again
The flame can rest
The glass grows dim
We were only ever watching
For him
