"I Saw The Light" by Hank Williams.
Country music singer Hank Williams was occasionally inspired to write gospel music, such as the 1948 “I Saw the Light.”
There was a little story about how Williams came up with the title. His mother was driving them to the next tour destination. When she told him, “I saw the light,” she meant they were near the airport.
The phrase gave Williams an idea for a song that used citations from the gospels and the book of Revelation. It was the prayer of someone who had fallen away from God and seeking redemption.
