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
Well I was a fool to wander and stray strait is the gate and narrow the way
But now I have traded the wrong for the right praise the Lord I saw the light
I saw the light...
[ banjo ]
I wandered so aimless...

HOUSE OF GOLD
(Hank Williams)
« © '50 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
People steal they cheat they lie for wealth and what it will buy
But don't they know on the Judgement Day all the 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 doom my soul
What good is gold and silver too if your heart's not pure and true
Sinner hear me when I say fall down on your knees and pray
Oh I'd rather be in a deep dark grave...
Than to live in this world in a house of gold and deny my God and doom my soul

JESUS IS A SOUL MAN
(Lawrence Reynolds - Jack Cardwell)
« © '69 Tree Publishing, BMI »
Jesus he's a soul man Jesus he's a soul man
Jesus he's a soul man and I'm sure soul on on him
Oh they say that he's a square that Jesus he ain't nowhere
But I know better cause he lives in my heart Jesus is a soul man
Yes you can find him in the Bible pages Jesus he's a Rock of Ages
He hides me in the cleft of the rock Jesus is a soul man
Jesus he's a soul man...
He comes to wait when the storm is raging keeps me saved when the devil's raving
He's my staff he's my sword and my shield Jesus is a soul man
Jesus he's a soul man...
Jesus he's a soul man...

I'M GONNA SING
(Hank Williams)
« © '51 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
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 prayers have not been in vain
When I get to glory I'm gonna sing sing sing
When I get to glory I'm gonna sing sing sing I'm gonna let the hallelujahs ring
I'm gonna praise my blessed Saviour's name
When I get to glory I'm gonna sing sing sing
[ banjo ]
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...
[ fiddle ]
Up there no tears will blind my eyes and I'll walk along by 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...

WEALTH WON'T SAVE YOUR SOUL
(Hank Williams)
« © '48 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
As we journey along down life's wicked road so selfish are we for silver and gold
You can treasure your wealth your diamonds and gold
But my friends it won't save your poor wicked soul
For when God calls from his home upon high
To your earthly wealth you must say goodbye
Then it's useless to you if you're strayed from the fold
For my friends it won't save your poor wicked soul
[ steel ]
The rich man like Paul will be judged at that time
But all of his wealth shall be left behind
For no matter how much of earthly wealth you hold
For my friends it won't save your poor wicked soul
For my friends it won't save your poor wicked soul

CALLING YOU
(Hank Williams)
« © '48 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
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 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
[ steel ]
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...
[ piano ]
When your soul is burden down and your friends cannot be found
Can't you hear the blessed Saviour calling you
If you'll follow him each day he will brighten up your way
Can't you hear the blessed Saviour calling you
Calling you calling you...
Can't you hear the blessed Saviour calling you

HOW CAN YOU REFUSE HIM NOW
(Hank Williams)
« © '50 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
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
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...
[ steel ]
As he hung there on the tree he prayed for you and me
There was no one his pain to ease
Before he died he faintly cried oh father forgive them please
How can you refuse him now...

JESUS DON'T GIVE UP ON ME
(Jack Clement - Alex Zanetis)
« © '69 Songs Of PolyGram, BMI »
Jesus I know I've neglected to do the little things the big things you wanted me to
I've let you down Jesus that's not hard to see Jesus oh Jesus don't give up on me
Stand by me Jesus forgive me somehow if there's any hope left don't leave me now
I might be worth saving I'm trying to be Jesus oh Jesus don't give up on me
[ steel ]
It's late I know and I've made you wait
But don't turn the light out don't lock the gate
Forgiveness and patience that's all I need Jesus oh Jesus don't give up on me
Stand by me Jesus...

ARE YOU WALKING AND A TALKING FOR THE LORD
(Hank Williams)
« © '52 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Would you stop and try to save on your journey to the grave
Are you walking and a talking with the Lord
Would you lend a helping hand to some poor sinner man
Are you walking and a talking with the Lord
Are you walking (are you walking) are you talking (are you talking)
Are you walking and a talking with the Lord
Are you traveling in his light every day and every night
Are you walking and a talking with the Lord
[ piano ]
If your soul said testify would the world hear you reply
Are you walking and a talking with the Lord
Would you stop and shout his name or bow your head in shame
Are you walking and a talking with the Lord
Are you walking...

WAIT FOR THE LIGHT TO SHINE
(Fred Rose)
« © '58 Milene Music, ASCAP »
When the road is rocky and you're carrying the load wait for the light to shine
If you find you're friendless on that weary lonesome road wait for the light to shine
Wait for the light to shine wait for the light to shine
Pull yourself together and keep looking for the sign wait for the light to shine
Don't forget your brother as you travel through this land wait for the light to shine
He may be in trouble and may need a helping hand wait for the light to shine
Wait for the light to shine wait for the light to shine
Never give up hope or cast your pearls and pour this wine wait for the light to shine
[ dobro - banjo ]
Don't let trouble fool you and your sin will all be gone wait for the light to shine
Don't forget it's darkest just before the break of dawn wait for the light to shine
Wait for the light to shine wait for the light to shine
Keep these wordson your mind as you walk out narrow line wait for the light to shine

READY TO GO HOME
(Hank Williams)
« © '53 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
There's coming a day when the world shall melt away
And Jesus shall come to claim his own
No more tears no pain no woe in this wicked world below
Then will you be ready to go home
Will you be ready to go ready to go home to live with him up there round the throne
When he says come unto me will your soul be claim and free
Then will you be ready to go home
[ steel ]
In this world of greed and hate will you wait till it's too late
Too late to claim the Saviour for your own
For he's coming someday to bear your soul away then will you be ready to go home
Will you be ready to go...
Then will you be ready to go home
