[Verse 1:]
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.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
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.
(Hook)
I want to be in the Light
As You are in the Light
I want to shine, like the stars in the heavens, oh Lord be my Light & be my salvation.
Cause all I want is to be in the Light.
All I want is to be in the Light.
[Verse 2:]
The disease of self runs through my blood
It's a cancer fatal to my soul.
Every attempt on my behalf has failed to bring this sickness under control.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
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.
(REPEAT Hook)
[BRIDGE 1:]
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.
[BRIDGE 2:]
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.
(REPEAT Hook)
[Vamp]
In the Light (repeat)
I want to be in the Light.
(Repeat as desired)
[Adlib]
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 for me.
Someday, I'm gonna be in the Light.
You are in the Light, that's right where I need to be.
Yeah that's right where I need to be.
Yeah that's right where I want to be.
