G
I wandered so aimless, life filled with sin;
C G
I wouldn't let my dear saviour in.
Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night.
D7 G
Praise the Lord! I saw the light!
G
I saw the light, I saw the light.
C G
No more darkness; no more night.
Now I'm so happy no sorrow in sight.
D7 G
Praise the Lord, I saw the light!
Just like a blind man I wandered alone;
Worries and fears I claimed for my own.
Then, like the blind man that Jesus gave back his sight,
Praise the Lord! I saw the light!
(Chorus)
I was a fool to wander and stray,
For straight is the gate and narrow the way.
Now I have traded the wrong for the right;
Praise the Lord! I saw the light!
