I SAW A MAN
Words and music by Arthur Smith
As recorded by Hank Snow on "Gloryland March" (1965)

(A) Last night I (E7) dreamed an angel (A) came.
He took my (E7) hand; he called my (A) name.
He bade me (E7) look the other (A) way.
I saw a (E7) man; I heard him (A) say:

CHORUS: (A) He said: "If (D) I be lifted up, I'll draw all (A) men to me."
He turned and (E7) then I saw the nail-scarred hands that (A) bled for me.
I (D) touched the hem of His garment that fell (A) round Him there.
My life my (E7) heart I gave; my soul was (A) in his care.

(A) When I (E7) awoke, my heart beat (A) so.
And in the (E7) dark, I saw a (A) glow.
This was no (E7) dream; He turned my (A) way.
Again I (E7) heard my Savior (A) say: CHORUS

I'm not absolutely certain, but I think Johnny Cash wrote it?

Arthur Smith wrote (I Saw A Man in 1956) and Hank Snow was the first to record it
