Rend Collective - My Lighthouse Lyrics
Lyrics
Verse 1
In my wrestling and in my doubts
In my failures You won't walk out
Your great love will lead me through
You are my peace in the troubled sea
You are my peace in the troubled sea
Verse 2
In the silence, You won't let go
In my questions, Your truth will hold
Your great love will lead me through
You are my peace in the troubled sea
You are my peace in the troubled sea
Chorus
My Lighthouse, My lighthouse
Shining in the darkness, I will follow You
My Lighthouse, My Lighthouse
I will trust the promise,
You will carry me safe to shore (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Safe to Shore (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Safe to Shore (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Safe to Shore
Verse 3
I won't fear what tomorrow brings
With each morning I'll rise and sing
My God's love will lead me through
You are the peace in my troubled sea
You are the peace in my troubled sea
Bridge
Fire before us, You're the brightest
You will lead us through the storm

Meaning & Inspiration
Released in 2014 as part of their album *The Art of Celebration*, Rend Collective’s “My Lighthouse” offers a profound and encouraging message of unwavering divine presence amidst life’s storms. The song grapples with the universal experience of human frailty, acknowledging moments of wrestling, doubt, and failure. It assures listeners that God’s love remains steadfast, never withdrawing even when we falter. This theme resonates powerfully with the biblical assurance found in **Hebrews 13:5**, which states, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." The song’s central metaphor of a lighthouse is a potent image of divine guidance, particularly relevant in challenging times. It paints God as a constant, luminous beacon in the darkness, a source of truth that holds firm even amidst questions and uncertainty, echoing **Psalm 43:3**: “Send me your light and your faithful guidance; may they lead me.” This unwavering light offers not just direction but also profound peace, a peace that transcends the turmoil of life, as Christ promised in **John 14:27**: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” The repeated promise that God will carry us safely to shore emphasizes a complete reliance on His strength and faithfulness, mirroring **Isaiah 46:4**: “Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I am he who will carry you; I will sustain you and I will carry you.” The song’s progression from acknowledging personal weakness to anticipating future challenges with singing reflects a mature faith, one that trusts in God’s protective love and promises, finding strength and confidence to face each new day. The imagery of fire before us and leading through the storm powerfully communicates God’s active, protective presence, transforming fear into hopeful expectation and reinforcing the truth that He is our ultimate refuge and guide.
