Songfacts®:

  • In this song, the Alabama singer Abe Partridge asks the Good Lord to help him find love in the dark. It's loaded with religious references, starting with the opening lines:

    I once saw Your light
    On a revival hill
    A sinner's delight


    "I was a baptist preacher for nine years," Partridge told Songfacts. "I left the ministry and eventually the church all together. Faith waxed and waned. This song is a prayer. Its coming to terms with all of that."
  • "Love In The Dark" is the title track to Partridge's second album. He's a modern-day folk singer whose music blends with his other interests, which include painting and church music, which he explores on his podcast Alabama Astronaut. The song was released as a single with an animated lyric video created by Sadie Van Wie.
