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 suspicion

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



This desease of self runs through my blood (through my blood)

It's a cancer fatal to my soul

Every help on my behalf has failed

to bring this sickness under control





(So tell me) what's going on inside of me

I despise my own behavior

(This only) serves to confirm my suspicion

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



(BRIDGE)

Honesty becomes me

[There's nothing left to lose]

The secrets that did run me

[In Your presence are defused]

Pride has no position

[And 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

I despise my own behavior

(This only) serves to confirm my suspicion

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 (2x)



[There's no other place that 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
