dcTalk – 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 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

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
It’s a cancer fatal to my soul
Every attemp 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

Honesty becomes me
[There’s nothing left to lose]
The secrets that did run me
[In Your presence are defused]
Pride has no position
[As riches have no worth]
The fame that once did cover me
[Has been sentenced to this Earth]
