I Saw the Light
by Hank Williams
sung by Emmylou Harris



 
C                                         C7
I wandered so aimless life filled with sin
  F                            C
I wouldn't let my dear Savior in
 
Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night
                G7        C
Praise the Lord I saw the light
 
                               C7
I saw the light I saw the light
F                        C
No more darkness no more night
 
Now I'm so happy no sorrow in sight
                G7        C
Praise the Lord I saw the light
 
                                      C7
Just like a blind man I wandered along
F                                  C
Worries and fears I claimed for my own
       
Then like the blind man that God gave back his sight
                G7        C
Praise the Lord I saw the light
 
repeat verse 2

                                C7
I was a fool to wander and stray
F                                   C
Straight is the gate and narrow the way
 
Now I have traded the wrong for the right
                G7        C
Praise the Lord I saw the light
 
repeat verse 2
