Lyrics of
I Saw The Light

I Saw the Light was penned by country musician Hank Williams. Reportedly, Williams was inspired to write the song following a remark made by his mother about the sighting of the lights of Montgomery, Alabama, as they were returning home from a show. The song has become one of the most recognized gospel and country anthems.

I saw the light I saw the light
No more in darkness no more at 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.

I saw the light I saw the light
No more in darkness no more at night
Now I'm so happy no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord I saw the light.

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

I saw the light I saw the light
No more in darkness no more at night
Now I'm so happy no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord I saw the light.
