I Saw The Light
Words and music by Hank Williams
1948

Psalm 46:1
"God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble."

          I wandered so aimless, life filled with sin;
          I wouldn't ask my dear Saviour in.
          Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night;
          Praise the Lord, I saw the light!

            Chorus
            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!

          Just like a blind man I wandered alone,
          Worries and fears I claimed for my own.
          Then like the blind man that Jesus gave back his sight;
          Praise the Lord, I saw the light!

            Chorus
            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 was a fool to wander astray,
          For straight is the gate and narrow is the way.
          Now I have traded the wrong for the right;
          Praise the Lord, I saw the light!

            Chorus
            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!
