Lyrics

I wan dered so aim less; life filled with sin.

(C)I would nโ€™t let my dear Sav ior (G)in.

Then Je sus came like a stran ger in the night.

Praise the Lord, (D7)I saw the (G)light!

I saw the light.

I saw the light.

(C)No more dark ness, no more (G)night.

Now Iโ€™m so hap py, no sor row in sight.

Praise the Lord,

(D7)I saw the (G)light!

Just like a blind man wan dered a long.

(C)Wor ries and fears I claimed for my (G)own.

Then like the blind man that God gave back his sight,

Praise the Lord,

(D7)I saw the (G)light!

I saw the light.

I saw the light.

(C)No more dark ness, no more (G)night.

Now Iโ€™m so hap py, no sor row in sight.

Praise the Lord,

(D7)I saw the (G)light!

(G)light!
