OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square (-or- Head ladies center, teacup chain)
*I wandered so aimless, life filled with sin
I wouldn't let my dear savior in
And when He came like a stranger in the night
Hallelujah, I saw the light
Four ladies (boys) promenade
Swing and promenade
Promenade this lady with all of your might
Hallelujah, I saw the light
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*Just like a blind man I wandered along
Worries and fears I claimed for my own
Then like the blind man that God gave back my sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the light
*I was a fool to wander and stray
Straight is the gate and narrow the way
Now I have traded the wrong for the right
Hallelujah, I saw the light
