“I Saw the Light”
By Hank Williams
I wandered so aimless, life filed with sin
I wouldn't let my dear Savior in
Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night
Praise the Lord, I saw the light
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 along
Worries and fears I claimed for my own
Then like the blind man that God gave back his sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the light
Chorus
I was a fool to wander and stray
For straight is the gate and narrow's the way
Now I have traded the wrong for the right
Praise the Lord, I saw the light
Chorus
“It’s a standard that we’ve sung for many years and always makes us think of Lisa because she loved this stuff.”
“When Uncle Rick lived up in Washington, we went out on a boat and I brought the Hank Williams cassette and played that song and we just thought that was so great. And that was how that got integrated in.”
