My dear mother loved this song and sang it in church with tears in her eyes , you see she went from a drunken bar waitress to a daughter of God , she loved Him so much .
I wish I could like this comment 10000 times. My dad was a alcoholic for years. One night he went to church with my mom so she would stop bothering him to go. He left the altar at the end of the service a new man. And never touched alcohol again for over 40 years.
To this day this is the most anointed version of this great gospel song. Every time I hear John Starnes sing he brings me into the presence of the Lord. He is a very anointed singer.
My mom loves this song with John Starnes singing it. Her husband (my stepfather) died on July 8th (just 3 wks ago), and this is one of the songs she wanted recorded on a CD, to be played at the luncheon, before we went to the grave site.
I will always remember the 70,s and 80,s Christian music, and the people who sings them. John Starnes is one of the best when singing the song The Light house...
A cd was given to me with several gospels. This one was amongst them. I first heard it and could not believe the amazing feeling I received. Once I heard it, I played it over and over and over again. There are anointings from our Creator. Some are anointed to preach and then some to pray and then, those who can praise. Thank God for those voices annointed to praise Him. John Starnes voice was one of those anointed to sing His praise. Psalm 100:4 (KJV) 4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with PRAISE: be thankful unto Him, and bless His Holy name.
Yes, one of the great voices of Christian singing, in my own mind he is actually probably one of the best, if not the best! Who can forget that performance of The God that never fails! And so very anointed.
I first heard this at a funeral last month and now I play it almost every night. Great song which I think is sung best by John versus the composer he sings this also.
Seems like everybody else who sings this great song has to rely on vocal tricks to sell it. John Starnes just sings it straight up and it's the most wonderful version, by far!
I had the opportunity to meet John at a 3 night Jimmy swaggart revival at reunion arena in Dallas in Dec 80or Jan 81 my daughter was born Oct 13 1980 I believe she was 2 months old. I was 22 and ill be 60 on August 3 2018 I met him I have all his music on my Uribe red.
Kenny Hinson sing it best and Ronnie Hinson wrote it. Kenny Hinson the best singer that ever lived and Ronnie Hinson the best song writer that ever lived. The lighthouse was written by Ronnie Hinson in the basement of a church on a old piece of toilet paper. Ronnie Hinson actually thought it want very good and placed in it the waste can then Kenny Hinson pulled it out and put the music to it. Ronnie Wrote it and Kenny Found it.
This is Swaggart song arraingement, Starns is just the singer. Swaggart has an enormous musical sense and manages to get rid of the hokey Southern Gospel cliches. Like Sinatra was Benny Goodman's vocalist
Elvis presley Loved this song.
This song was the first Song I learned to play on my guitar as a little Boy growing up in the early 80s.... I love this Song so much...

Hermosisimo canto.
Que nos enseña quien es la verdadera luz. Cristo es esa luz.
This song tells the truth about Jesus and his ability to heal a human being and recreate them in the image of God.
Growing up listening to southern gospel in the 70's was such a special time. And I feel so blessed to have experienced it.
Jesus Christ is my Light House a my Everything.

But then my mind goes back to that stormy night when just in time I saw the Light. Thank You Jesus.

No one ministers this song better than J.S. A voice both anointed as well as a natural talent.
Yes Jesus. Thank you for being the lighthouse.
God is real by the very beauty of John Starnes voice....

Yes, one of the great voices of Christian singing, in my own mind he is actually probably one of the best, if not the best! Who can forget that performance of The God that never fails! And so very anointed.
Raymond Volshenk I think Dallas Holm is right next to him in that claim. most powerfully beautiful voice that draws you in. so underrated

In memory of Bob Fisher 1954-2013. He loved this song.
