Here's an original I wrote a few months ago.
If you want to hear a more "produced" version of this song, you can hear it on my originals-only channel:

We hauled in all our gear
And plugged the speakers in
We checked our cords and cables
And I was tuning my four-string when
In a wheelchair came old Maggie
Yes, she was really getting on
But she was smiling 'cause she knew we'd play
Some good old gospel songs
We opened up with a lively tune
That old Ring of Fire,
Maggie clapped politely, but that
Was not what she desired
She was there to sing along with us
Every Saturday afternoon
And she was waiting just to hear
That old Hank Williams tune
And she sang
I Saw the Light (chorus)
Came one day we were setting up
And Maggie wasn't there
I looked for the familiar sight
Of her battered old wheelchair
Then the floor nurse told us "Maggie passed"
But the show had to go on
And so we opened up that day
With that old Hank Williams song
And we sang
I Saw the Light (chorus)
Now I know Maggie's singing
Somewhere beyond the blue
She's probably still singing that same old song
And maybe Hank is, too
And every time I sing those old gospel songs
I'll always think of her
No matter how much time goes by
I'll always remember
When she sang
I Saw the Light and Amazing Grace
She was a sight to see with the light of heaven in her face
We heard the songs of angels ringing back from heaven's shore
When she sang
I can't feel at home in this world anymore
