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 I wandered so aimless, my heart 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 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 Just like a blind man I wandered alone 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 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 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

It was late last night I was feeling something wasn't right There was not another soul in sight Only you, only you So we walked along, Though I knew there was something wrong And the feeling hot me oh so strong about you Then you gazed up at me and the answer was plain to see 'Cause I saw the light in your eyes Though we had our fling I just never would suspect a thing 'Til that little bell began to ring in my head In my head But I tried to run, Though I knew it wouldn't help me none 'Cause I couldn't ever love no one, or so I said But my feelings for you Were just something I never knew 'Til I saw the light in your eyes But I love you best It's not something that I say in jest 'Cause you're different, girl, from all the rest In my eyes And I ran out before but I won't do it anymore Can't you see the light in my eyes
