I Saw The Light Lyrics - 1956

[ Buy I Saw The Light ]

Chorus

Than to live in this world in a house of gold, and deny my god and doom my soul.

Then he sung these two other verses:

Jesus said come unto me, i'll break sins chains and set you free,
I'll carry you to a home on high, where you'll never never did.

Repeat chorus

Jesus died there on the cross, so this world would not be lost,
Sinner hear now what i say, for someday you'll have to pay.

Repeat chorus
