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
