Lyrics

I wandered so aimless, life filled 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 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 and stray For straight is the gate and narrows 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 darkness, no more night Now I'm so happy no sorrow in sight Praise the Lord, I saw the light

About This Song

I Saw the Light is a Hank Williams gospel classic from 1948, not a Bill Monroe tune. It's become a bluegrass standard thanks to its uplifting message and simple three-chord structure, making it a favorite at gospel-oriented jams and a great song for newer players to tackle.
