I Saw The Light by Hank Williams "At the time Hank wrote the song, he and his band had ended a tour and were getting near Montgomery, Alabama, in a car that didn't run too well. They were afraid they wouldn't make it. Then Hank spotted the beacon light at the Montgomery airport and said, 'We're gonna make it now; I saw the light.'" — Audrey Williams I Saw The Light I saw the light, I saw the light No more darkness, no more light Now I'm so happy, no sorrow in sight Praise the Lord! I saw the light. I wandered so aimless, life filled with sin I wouldn't let my dear Saviour in Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night 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 a blind man that God gave back his sight Praise the Lord! I saw the light. 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.
