I Saw the Light (Live)

Lyrics

[Spoken Intro: Mike Roe] Every Saturday morning was quite an experience when I was a kid. My dad used to crank up the country music station and play it for three, four hours at a time. It was like a Chinese water torture, but I eventually learned to love it, and this is one of the songs I used to hear quite often. Hank Williams wrote it, but the Bill Monroe sort of bluegrass version was the one that I liked quite a bit. So we thought we'd do it for some of the old-timers and for some younger people that maybe have never seen a banjo before and might think its a synthesizer or something. I'd also like to dedicate this to Louis. Okay, fire it up. Let's do it fast this time. [Verse 1] I wandered 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 [Chorus] 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 Aw, pick it, Dann [Banjo Solo] [Verse 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 [Chorus] Well, 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 Aw, take it one more time [Banjo Solo] [Verse 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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] Yeah, 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 [Spoken Outro: Roe] Y'all come back now, hear? [Spoken Outro: Unknown] Whoo! That's great. That'll stand your hair right on end, won't it? Thanks, Mike. Whoo! I can tell Mike's growing spiritually, he's getting closer to God's music all the time.
