Personal Days: Dear Hank Williams, I've Seen the Light

Ya'll know I'm a huge Johnny Cash fan. Recently I've been getting into Hank Williams.

It started with Jana. She bought a record player for our family room and the kind people at Record Guys gave her some store credit for her purchase. Not having a lot of Johnny Cash vinyl on hand Jana brought home a double-LP of classic Hank Williams. I put it on and I was hooked.

Seriously, as soon as I heard the song "I Saw the Light" I pulled up the chords online, grabbed my guitar and started strumming the song. I've been singing that song all week.

I wandered so aimless life filled with sin
I wouldn't let my dear savior 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's the way
Now I have traded the wrong for the right
Praise the Lord I saw the light

You can here Hank sing "I Saw the Light" here on Youtube.

And God bless used vinyl!
