As soon as Hank Williams Sr. begins singing “Wait for the Light to Shine,” everything around you softens. His voice is warm, aged like old wood and wrapped in truth slips into your chest and settles there. With nothing but a simple melody and words full of faith, Hank sings not just a song, but a prayer. It’s quiet, it’s humble and it’s full of hope, this is gospel done right.
The song carries a message of patience, faith and grace. It tells you that no matter what darkness you walk through, the light is coming and you just have to wait for it. That kind of message never gets old. Hank’s delivery is tender and filled with a wisdom that makes you stop and listen. It doesn’t shout, it whispers and that whisper stays with you.
