Charlie Peacock (Love Life, 1991, Sparrow)





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



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 saviour



CHORUS

I wanna be in the light as you are in the light

I wanna shine like the stars in the heavens

Lord be my light and my salvation

All I want is to be in the light of love

All I want is to be in the light



The disease of the self runs through my blood

Like a cancer fatal to the soul

Every attempt on my behalf has failed

To bring the sickness under control



(Chorus)



CHORUS 2

I wanna be in the light as you are in the light

Lead me into the presence of the Father

I will follow right behind, true love will find

All I want is to be in the light of love

All I want is to be in the light



Is there such a thing as a man of peace?

If there is, then a man of peace I want to be

I will need your help if I'm ever to be that

If i'm to lay down, lay down, lay down

Then I'll lay my life for my brothers and sisters

I will nees your help, Jesus I need your light

Forever shining bright



(Chorus)
