Lyric In The Light

[1, 2, 3]
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 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
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
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 chorus)
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 suspicions
That I m still a man in need of a Savior
(repeat chorus 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]
