I Saw the Light

Cat. #1082 (MFH #756) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on May 12, 1970

VERSE 1
I wandered away, my life full of sin
Wouldn't let my dear Saviour in
Then Jesus came, like a stranger in th night
Praise th Lord, I saw th light

CHORUS:
I saw th light, I saw th light
No more darkness, no more night
Now I'm so happy, no sorrow in sight
Praise th Lord, I saw th Light

VERSE 2
Just like a fool, I wandered along
Wear an' care, I had for my own
But like a blind man, God give back his sight
Praise th Lord, I saw th Light

VERSE 3
I was a fool to wander astray
Straight is th gate an' narrow is th way
I have changed th wrong for th right
Praise, th Lord, I saw th light
