I SAW THE LIGHT

(Hank Williams) « © '48 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
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 alone
Worries and fears I claimed for my own
Then like a blind man that God gave back his sight
Praise the Lord I saw the light

I saw the light I saw the light...

So I was a fool to wander and stray
Strait is the gate and narrow the way
Now I have traded the wrong for the right
And praise the Lord I saw the light

I saw the light I saw the light...
I saw the light I saw the light...

HOME IN HEAVEN

(Hank Williams) « © '51 Acuff-Rose Music »
Around me many are building homes of beauty and wealth
But what of a hope up in heaven where will you live after death

Long is the road that leads you to that beautiful home up there
Is work on your home completed death may be lingering near

Are you building a home up in heaven to live in when this life is o'er
Will you move to that beautiful city and live with Christ evermore
[ piano ] Are you ready for his coming have you been true all along
Have you finished your building in glory will you move to your heavenly home

Are you building a home up in heaven...
Will you live with Christ evermore

JESUS REMEMBERED ME

(Hank Williams) « © '49 Acuff-Rose Music »
I was all alone and drifting on a lonely sea of sin
Nothing but darkness no sunshine within
I lifted my eyes to the Lord in the skies
And glory to God he remembered me

Jesus remembered me and so he set me free
Once I was blinded but now I can see
Glory to God he remembered me

Now the dawn is shining I'm happy and free
No more sorrows no troubles to see
I'm going home to heaven my Saviour to see
Glory to God he remembered me

Jesus remembered me...
[ piano ] When he talked to his disciples at the Sea of Galilee
He said he'd remember a mortal like me
I asked for his blessing down on my knee
And glory to God he remembered me

Jesus remembered me...
Jesus remembered me...

HOW CAN YOU REFUSE HIM NOW

(Hank Williams) « © '50 Acuff-Rose Music »
There's a story old that has often been told
Of how our Saviour died
As they nailed his hands he cried they don't understand
As the blood flowed from his side

How can you refuse him now how can you refuse him now
How can you turn away from his side
With tears in his eyes on the cross there he died
How can you refuse Jesus now
[ steel ] As he hung there on the tree he prayed for you and me
There was no one his pain to ease
But before he died he raised his head and cried
Father forgive them please

How can you refuse him now...
Oh how can you refuse Jesus now

JESUS IS CALLING

(Hank Williams - Charlie Monroe) « © '51 Acuff-Rose Music »
When your soul is weary and it seems you've lost your way
Jesus is calling calling night and day
When you need a friend to go with you all the way
Jesus is calling calling night and day

Jesus is calling calling night and day
And you will be near him if you'll just pray
He's calling for you so don't turn away
Jesus is calling calling night and day
[ guitar ] If you're lost in sin there's no need for you to stay
Jesus is calling calling night and day
If the night is dark you will soon see the day
Jesus is calling calling hear him right away

Jesus is calling calling night and day...
Jesus is calling calling night and day

WHEN THE BOOK OF LIFE IS READ

(Hank Williams) « © '52 Acuff-Rose Music »
In life's many battles that you will have to fight
Just stay close to Jesus and journey in his light
Then on that judgement morning when all pain has fled
You'll stand in God's kingdom when the book of life is read

When the seals are broken and names are read aloud
You'll see many loved ones standing in the crowd
So brother keep on praying and follow where you're lead
You'll enter in God's kingdom when the book of life is read
[ steel ] All your dreams of heaven will come true on that day
When the sky shall open and earth down melt away
Then all God's faithful children will raise up from the dead
United in God's kingdom when the book of life is read

Oh what a happy feeling to know he'll always care
And when our work is over heaven with him share
There'll be no pain or sorrow no tears will be shed
When we stand in God's kingdom and the book of life is read
We'll stand in God's kingdom and the book of life is read

ARE YOU WALKING AND A TALKING FOR THE LORD

(Hank Williams) « © '52 Acuff-Rose Music »
Would you lend a helping hand to some poor sinner man
Are you walking and a talking for the Lord
Would you stop and try to save on your journey to the grave
Are you walking and a talking for the Lord

Are you walking (are you walking) are you talking (are you talking)
Are you walking and a talking for the Lord
Are you traveling in his light every day and every night
Are you walking and a talking for the Lord

If your soul said testify would the world hear you reply
Are you walking and a talking for the Lord
Would you stop and shout his name or just bow your head in shame
Are you walking and a talking for the Lord

Are you walking (are you walking)...
[ guitar ] Now when the time has come to go will your road be white as snow
Are you walking and a talking for the Lord
Will he take you by the hand lead you to that promised land
Are you walking and a talking for the Lord

Are you walking (are you walking)...

HOUSE OF GOLD

(Hank Williams) « © '50 Acuff-Rose Music »
Some people steal they cheat and lie
For wealth and all that it will buy
But don't they know on the Judgement Day
That gold and silver will melt away

I'd rather be in a deep dark grave
And know that my poor soul was saved
Than to live in this world in a house of gold
And deny my God and lose my soul

What good is gold and silver too
If your heart's not pure and true
Oh sinner hear me when I say
Fall down on your knees and pray

Well I'd rather be in a deep dark grave...
Don't trade your soul for a house of gold

I'M GONNA SING SING SING

(Hank Williams) « © '51 Acuff-Rose Music »
When I get to glory I'm gonna sing sing sing
I'm gonna let those hallelujahs ring
I'm gonna praise my Saviour's name
When I get to glory I'm gonna sing sing sing

In this world of sorrow I've seen trouble and woe
When I get to glory I'll see no more
For I know my pray'rs have not been in vain
When I get to glory I'm gonna sing sing sing

Sometimes I get so weary inside
Then I recall how my Jesus died
Up there I know there'll be no pain
When I get to glory I'm gonna sing sing sing

When I get to glory I'm gonna sing sing sing...
[ guitar ] Up there no tears will blind my eyes
And I'll walk along my Jesus side
I'll meet my loved ones all once again
When I get to glory I'm gonna sing sing sing

When I get to glory I'm gonna sing sing sing...
When I get to glory I'm gonna sing sing sing...

CALLING YOU

(Hank Williams) « © '48 Acuff-Rose Music »
When you've strayed from the fold and there's trouble in your soul
Can't you hear the blessed Saviour calling you
When your soul is lost in sin and you're at your journey's end
Can't you hear the blessed Saviour calling you

Calling you (calling you) calling you (calling you)
Can't you hear the blessed Saviour calling you
He will take you by the hand lead you to that promised land
Can't you hear the blessed Saviour calling you

As you journey day by day and temptation comes your way
Can't you hear the blessed Saviour calling you
If you follow in his light he will always guide you right
Can't you hear the blessed Saviour calling you

Calling you (calling you)...
[ harmonica ] When your soul is burden down and your friends cannot be found
Can't you hear the blessed Saviour calling you
If you'll foloow him each day he will brighten up your way
Can't you hear the blessed Saviour calling you

Calling you (calling you)...

JESUS DIED FOR ME

(Hank Williams) « © '50 Acuff-Rose Music »
When everything goes wrong and it seems all hope is gone
I remember how my Saviour died
He died there on the cross so this world would not be lost
Jesus died for me long ago

What pain he suffered there the holy one so dear
So that you and I could live
I'll try to repay for his suffring on that day
Jesus died for me long ago

Jesus died for me long ago on a hillside far away
He was tortured and slain God bless his holy name
Jesus died for me long ago
[ fiddle + harmonica ] As he hung there all alone his life's blood almost gone
He never stopped praying for me
So I'll follow all the way and then live with him some day
Jesus died for me long ago

Jesus died for me long ago...
Yes he died for you and me long ago
