![I Saw The Light (made popular by Hank Williams) [backing version]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51uTlMdza4L._SL160_.jpg "I Saw The Light (made popular by Hank Williams) [backing version]")
1) 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
Ref.: I saw the light I saw the light
No more in darkness no more in night
(And) now I'm so happy no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord I saw the light
2) 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
3) I was a fool to wander and stray
Straight is the gate and narrow the way
Now I have traded the wrong for the right
Praise the Lord I saw the light
Der Text wird häufig mit Williams' eigenem Leben in Verbindung gebracht und diente auch als Titel für einen biografischen Film über Hank Williams aus dem Jahr 2015.
