I saw the light I saw the light no more darkness no more night
Now I’m so happy no sorrow in sight praise the Lord I saw the light
I wandered so aimless life filled with sin I wouldn’t let my dear Saviour in
Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night praise the Lord I saw the light
I saw the light…
Just like a blind man I wandered along worries and fears I claimed for my own
Then like a blind man God gave back his sight praise the Lord I saw the light
I saw the light…
I was a fool to wander and stray straight is the gate and narrow the way
Now I have traded the wrong for all the right praise the Lord I saw the light
I saw the light…
Well I saw the light…
Well I said praise the Lord I saw the light
Hank Williams wrote this song, but Roy Acuff recorded it first. At least, it was released first, if it was not recorded first. This one, here, is from 1958.
