i saw the light (live) - the 77s lyrics

[spoken intro: mike roe]
every sat-rday 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 bluegr-ss 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.
