About “My Lighthouse”
The Northern Irish folk-worship band recorded this song for The Art of Celebration, an album built on the conviction that celebration is a discipline the church has to practice. Frontman Chris Llewellyn told Cross Rhythms that you always meet people who are in that time in their life where they need to cling to something, pointing to this song as the one that has filled that role for the band. Its picture of God as a lighthouse guiding through troubled seas made it a staple at festivals like Soul Survivor.
