In the Light Text

von DC Talk

I keep trying to find a life
On my own apart from you
I am the king of excuses
I've got one for every selfish thing I do

Tell me what's going on inside of me
I despise my own behavior
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That I'm still a man in need of a Savior

[Chorus]
I wanna be in the Light
As You are in the Light
I wanna shine like the stars
In the Heavens
Oh, Lord be my light
And be my Salvation
'cause all I want is to be in the Light
All I want is to be in the Light

This disease of self runs through my blood (through my blood)
It's a cancer fatal to my soul
Every attempt on my behalf has failed
To bring this sickness under control

Tell me what's going on inside of me
(Whats going on)
I despise my own behavior
(Despise my own behavior)
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That I'm still a man in need of a Savior

I wanna be in the Light
As You are in the Light
I wanna shine like the stars
In the Heavens
Oh, Lord be my Light
And be my Salvation
'cause all I want is to be in the Light (yeah)
All I want is to be in the Light

[Bridge]
Honesty becomes me
(There's nothing left to lose)
The secrets that did run me
(Your presence have defused)
Pride has no position
(As riches have no worth)
The fame that once did cover me
(Has been sentenced to this Earth)
Has been sentenced to this Earth

Tell me what's going on inside of me
(Whats going on)
I despise my own behavior
(Despise my own behavior)
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That I'm still a man in need of a Savior

I wanna be in the Light
As You are in the Light
I wanna shine like the stars
In the Heavens
Oh, Lord be my light
And be my Salvation
'cause all I want is to be in the Light
All I want to be is in the Light (3x)

(There's no other place I want to be)
(No other place that I can see)
(A place to be that's just right)
(Someday I'm gonna be in the Light)
(You are in the Light)
(That's where I need to be)
(That's right where I need to be)
