Old Enoch, he lived to be
Three-hundred and sixty-five
When the lord came and took him
Back to heaven alive

I saw, I saw the light come shining
Shining all around
I saw the light come shining
I saw the light come down

When Paul prayed in prison
Those prison walls fell down
Prison keeper shouted
Redeeming love I've found

I saw, I saw the light come shining
Shining all around
I saw that light come shining
I saw that light come down

When Moses saw that burning bush
He walked it 'round and 'round
And the lord said to Moses
You's treading holy ground

I saw, I saw the light come shining
Shining all around
I saw the light come shining
I saw the light come down

Dry bones in that valley
Got up and took a little walk
The deaf could hear
And the dumb could talk

I saw, I saw the light come shining
Shining all around
I saw the light come shining
I saw the light come down

Adam and Eve in the garden
Under that sycamore tree
Eve said to Adam
Satan never tempted me

I saw, I saw the light come shining
Shining all around
I saw the light come shining
I saw the light come down
