I saw the light

The blog No Cross, No Crown posted a note about Hank Williams, Sr and the Bart Millard version of "I saw the light" So I went looking for some other versions of the song... so this is for all you Country Music people out there... take your pick... it might be a while before I post another Country song...



Hank Williams, Sr., who died at the age of 29 was a very talented musician. His 1948 Gospel song "I Saw the Light" reached #1 on CMT's 20 Greatest Songs of Faith in 2005.
