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)
