Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - I Saw The Light Lyrics






I wandered so aimless, life filled with sin
I wouldn't let my Dear Saviour 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 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

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.

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band I Saw The Light Comments
  1. R.... A....

    Excellent!

  2. F.... J....

    Jesus fetched me according to Ezekiel 34. No man. No denomination. No church. No program.

    Just the Holy Ghost. What is this? Read the Bible and found I'd been saved! Glory be!

    Then he filled me with the Holy Spirit. What's this? I never learned this language! Read the Bible some some more then realized Jesus had baptized me him self. Later I was water baptized

    Will it last. Well, it has for 42 wonderful years. Trouble? Sickness? Hardships? Death pronouncements by doctors? Infirmities?. Mockings? Yes to all but he is with me. Jesus sits high but looks low to see pathetic creatures like me and picks them up and washes them In his blood and sends them on his, way rejoicing! Amen brethren!

  3. E.... R....

    i like this song it's very good and won't to get up and jump for joy when I hear it

  7. J.... G....

    Dear God, I know that I’m not perfect, I know sometimes I forget to pray. I know I have questioned my faith, I know sometimes I lose my temper, but thank you for loving me unconditionally and giving me another day to start over again.

    J.... G....

    That is about the most perfect prayer I can imagine. Bless you!

    J.... G....

    Roy Acuff came to Wiggins Mississippi 1970 to dedicate the Opening of The Dizzy Dean museum What a treat. He and Mr Dean were good friends. I was 16 years old. Just one part of a million stories.

  30. R.... K....

    ...🎼🎶🇺🇸💝🐝. THANKS. BOBZGT👣🎲🔮💎

  31. S.... G....

    Old maynardville boy

  32. M.... B....

    I can NOT listen to this song without wanting to dance for joy and praise God

    M.... B....

    Melissa very nice 😇

    M.... B....

    Me too..lol

  33. A.... P....

    👀 ☀ no more🌚

  34. e.... ....

    I met and sat and Roy Acuff ‘s lap for about almost a hour.

  35. G.... H....

    Only flaw in this selection is the annoying overbearing harmonica playing literally over Vassar’s break. He should have not been playing during the fiddle break since the harp is on the same frequency of the fiddle. He did’t understand this because he does this throughout the album.
    Vassar was the tasteful professional, not him.

    G.... H....

    Jackass. Don't like it, don't listen. Keep your feeble opinion to yourself and your cat.

  36. S.... ....

    Fuck your banjo if you can't play this......

    S.... ....

    Spokelse
    Lol, mutt.

  37. D.... m....

    I love this song on the night of my mom passed away I dang I saw the light in the style of hand Williams

  42. g.... c....

    love this song hugs from andalusia spain

  43. l.... p....

    can never go wrong with roy acuff or nitty gritty dirt band

  44. F.... B....

    I don't get the feeling listening to this that they really did see the light. It clicks along like a metronome. Technically perfect but lacking soul.

    F.... B....

    The guitar solo has soul.

  45. m.... T....

    hallelujah make a joyful noise

  46. I.... i....

    Wow what a beautiful song *I SAW THE LIGHT* and that song it really bless my heart and soul .🎤🎶🎸
