Note: the lyrics of the 2nd and 3rd lines had be ‘tweaked’ just a tiny bit in order to fit into Jesus’ mouth.
I wandered so aimless, life filed with sin
I wouldn’t let my dear Father in
Then my Lord came like a stranger in the night
Praise the Lord I saw the light
I wouldn’t let my dear Father in
Then my Lord came like a stranger in the night
Praise the Lord I saw the light
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
No more darkness, no more night
Now I’m so happy no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord I saw the light
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
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
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
No more darkness, no more night
Now I’m so happy no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord I saw the light
I was a fool to wander and stray
Straight is the gate and narrow’s the way
Now I have traded the wrong for the right
Praise the Lord I saw the light
Straight is the gate and narrow’s the way
Now I have traded the wrong for the right
Praise the Lord I saw the light
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
No more darkness, no more night
Now I’m so happy no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord I saw the light

COMMENT ON PREVIOUS SELECTION “The Light of a Clear Blue Morning”
This is what faith is. No matter how dark the night, faith is able to see beyond it to the light of a clear blue morning.
