In the Light

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 that I'll do

What's going on inside of me?
I despise my own behavior
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
But 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
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
It's a cancer fatal to the soul
Every attempt on my behalf has failed
To bring the sickness under control

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
All I want is to be in the light of love
All I want is to be in the light

I wanna be in the light as You are in the light
Let me into the presence of the Father
I will follow right behind, true love I 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 an inner 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 need Your help
Jesus, I need Your light, forever shining bright

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
All I want is to be in the light of love
All I want is to be in the light

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
All I want is to be in the light of love
All I want is to be in the light...
