two columns

OPENER    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
*I wandered so aimless life filled with sin
I wouldn't let my dear Savior in
Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night
Praise the Lord

Allemande left and weave
I saw the light, I saw the light
Swing your girl and promenade tonight
Now I'm so happy, no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the light


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*I was a fool to wander and stray
Straight is the gate and narrow's the way
Now I have traded the wrong for the right
Praise the Lord


FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (Sides) square thru four hands around you go
Dosado your corner make an ocean wave you know
Ladies trade then, run to the right
Tag the line all the way thru, cloverleaf tonight
Four boys square thru 3/4 around
Swing your corner and promenade the town
Now I'm so happy, no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the Light


FIGURE (ALTERNATE)    Plus, corner progression

Heads (Sides) promenade travel halfway around
Walk in and star thru with the two you found
A double pass thru and then track two
Relay the deucey, you move it round you do
I saw the light, I saw the light
Swing your corner and promenade tonight
Now I'm so happy, no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the Light


MIDDLE BREAK    Basic - SSD Week 4

Sides face grand square
Just like a blind man I wandered along
Worries and cares I claimed for my own
Then like a blind man, God gave back His sight
Praise the Lord

Allemande left and weave
I saw the light, I saw the light
No more darkness no more night
Now I'm so happy, no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the light


CLOSER    Basic - SSD Week 1

Four ladies promenade, go one time around
Run back and swing your man around
Join all your hands and circle left you go
Allemande your corner and weave the ring
I saw the light, I saw the light
No more darkness no more night
Now I'm so happy, no sorrow in sight
Praise the Lord, I saw the light


TAG

Hallelugh, I saw the light
