I was going through a very rough time some 25 years ago. This song stood out amongst others. The lyrics notwithstanding, there’s no mistaking them with anyone else.
When I was a teen, my family would go to them, but ours usually started around 7pm, and lasted at least until midnight, sometimes a little longer depending on the crowd and their begging for it to continue!
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. 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? 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 form that old lighthouse, That stands up there on the hill. 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 grew up on this singing family. Incomparable. Rusty’s voice, Vestel’s powerful voice gets me everytime.

The Goodman's we're pure Gold together!!!
What a joy to listen to this music, especially in these trying times! God Bless
I love the Goodman family what a tremendous ministry.
Love and miss, Vestal Goodman, Queen of gospel. .
They were a great gospel singing group.
I really enjoy this. Thanks for posting
Can't ever get tired of the LIGHTHOUSE!!!!!!
Vestal was a powerhouse. Miss the old gospel quartets.
Love Rusty's voice

Happy Goodman was an underrated person.

Unbeatable, period.
Now, maybe Hinson’s version, but Rusty’s holds a soft spot in my heart. 🤍
