Lyrics

I saw the light, I saw the light

I experienced a revelation or moment of clarity.

No more darkness, no more night

The darkness and night symbolize troubles and difficulties.

Now I'm so happy, no sorrow in sight

After the revelation, I am now filled with happiness, devoid of sorrow.

Praise the lord, I saw the light

Expressing gratitude to the Lord for the newfound enlightenment.


I wandered so aimless, life filed with sin

Previously, I lived a purposeless life, consumed by sin.

I wouldn't let my dear savior in

I resisted accepting salvation from my dear savior.

Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night

Jesus arrived unexpectedly, like a stranger in the night.

Praise the lord I saw the light

Grateful for the moment of enlightenment and acceptance of Jesus.


I saw the light, I saw the light

Reiteration of the transformative experience of seeing the light.

No more darkness, no more night

Highlighting the absence of darkness and night after the revelation.

Now I'm so happy, no sorrow in sight

Continued happiness and freedom from sorrow after the revelation.

Praise the lord, I saw the light

Repeating gratitude and praise for the newfound enlightenment.


Just like a blind man, I wandered along

Comparison to a blind man, signifying a lack of spiritual insight.

Worries and fears I claimed for my own

Acknowledging personal worries and fears as one's own burden.

Then like the blind man that God gave back his sight

Similar to a blind man regaining sight, experiencing divine intervention.

Praise the lord I saw the light

Expressing gratitude to the Lord for the restored spiritual sight.


I saw the light, I saw the light

Reaffirmation of the transformative experience of seeing the light.

No more darkness, no more night

Reiterating the absence of darkness and night post-revelation.

Now I'm so happy, no sorrow in sight

Continued happiness and freedom from sorrow after the revelation.

Praise the lord, I saw the light

Repeating gratitude and praise for the newfound enlightenment.


I was a fool to wander and astray

Admitting past foolishness in wandering away from the right path.

Straight is the gate and narrows the way

Emphasizing the narrow and straight path compared to the previous waywardness.

Now I have traded the wrong for the right

Having exchanged wrong choices for the right path.

Praise the lord I saw the light

Grateful for the moment of enlightenment and choosing the right path.


I saw the light, I saw the light

Reiteration of the transformative experience of seeing the light.

No more darkness, no more night

Highlighting the absence of darkness and night after the revelation.

Now I'm so happy, no sorrow in sight

Continued happiness and freedom from sorrow after the revelation.

Praise the lord, I saw the light

Repeating gratitude and praise for the newfound enlightenment.
