Lyrics

I (F)wan dered so aim less, I life filled with sin.

(Bb)I would n’t let my dear Sav ior (F)in.

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

Praise the (Dm)Lord,

(Gm)I saw (C7)the (F)light.

I saw the light.

I saw the light.

(Bb)No more dark ness, no more (F)night.

Now I’m so hap py, no sor row in sight.

Praise the (Dm)Lord,

(Gm)I saw (C7)the (F)light.

(F)Just like a blind man, I wan dered a long.

(Bb)Wor ries and fears I claimed for my (F)own.

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

Praise the (Dm)Lord,

(Gm)I saw (C7)the (F)light.

I saw the light.

I saw the light.

(Bb)No more dark ness, no more (F)night.

Now I’m so hap py, no sor row in sight.

Praise the (Dm)Lord,

(Gm)I saw (C7)the (F)light.

(Gm)I saw (C7)the (F)light.
