I Saw the Light was penned by country musician Hank Williams. Reportedly, Williams was inspired to write the song following a remark made by his mother about the sighting of the lights of Montgomery, Alabama, as they were returning home from a show. The song has become one of the most recognized gospel and country anthems.
