This week, I decided to put up an updated version of a classic "Camp Meeting" song - I Saw The Light by Bart Millard. (originally written by Hank Williams, Sr.) So often in my life I've been in the dark, only to eventually see the light - or have someone show it to me. I remember a bonfire at youth camp where I first saw the light - literally and spiritually. The darkness of my doubt was replaced with the glowing light of belief. There is great comfort and optimism, for me anyway, in recognizing the wandering and worry are being replaced with faith and belief. Now if I could just stay out of the dark.......
You may recognize Bart's voice as the lead singer of MercyMe. This song is from his solo CD "Hymned Again" a second collection of classic hymns. To see a very cool YouTube performance of the song with Hank Williams, Jr; Chet Atkins; EmmyLou Harris; Randy Travis; Minnie Pearl; Ricky Skaggs and others, click here.
