[G]
I saw the light, I saw the [C] light, no more darkness, no [G] more night.
Now [B] I'm so happy, [G] no sorrow in sight.
Praise the [D] Lord, I [G] saw the light.
I wonder so aimless, life filled with sin.
[E] I [C] would let my dear Savior [G] in.
[G] Then Jesus came like stranger [G] in night.
Praise the Lord, I saw the light, I saw the light, I saw the light, [C] no more darkness, [G] 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 [Gm] wandered along.

Praise the Lord, I saw the light.
Well, I said now praise [D] the Lord, I saw [C] the light.
