I Saw The Light Lyrics by Mark Schultz

I Saw The Light

I saw the light - I saw the light - Oh I saw the light - He lived in a crowded
Jamaican infirmary - Many were brought there to die - Days of starvation
complete deprivation - And illness had taken his sight - But a doctor came to
the village there - And treated him with the finest care -
Said that time would tell - The doctor went to bed that night - And when he awoke
in the morning light - The man could not be found - He was singing from a hill

Oh I can see - I saw the light - I saw the light - Oh I saw the light -
And he sang Amazing Grace to show - A loving God for all to know -
With love and faith and grace - Oh I can see -

We met and my eyes could not hide how I felt - When I looked at him tattered and torn -
But he captured me with a smile that seems so out of place - From the pain
he'd endured - And he told me of a sacrifice - That had given him eternal life -
He was not alone - He spoke about a greater plan - And I began to understand -
My life was not my own - And I am here to say -

And I sang Amazing Grace to show - A loving God for all to know -
With love and faith and grace - Oh I can see - Amazing Grace how
sweet the sound - That saved a wretch like me oh - I once was lost
but now am found - Was blind but now I see -
