D.c. Talk: "In The Light" Lyrics

[1, 2, 3]



I keep trying to find a life

On my own, apart from you

I am the king of excuses

Ive got one for every selfish thing I do



Whats going on inside of me? 

I despise my own behavior

This only serves to confirm my suspicions

That Im 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

Its a cancer fatal to my soul

Every attempt on my behalf has failed

To bring this sickness under control



Tell me, whats going on inside of me? 

I despise my own behavior

This only serves to confirm my suspicions

That Im still a man in need of a savior



(repeat chorus)



Honesty becomes me

[theres 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, whats going on inside of me? 

I despise my own behavior

This only serves to confirm my suspicions

That Im still a man in need of a savior



(repeat chorus 2x)



[theres no other place that I want to be]

[no other place that I can see]

[a place to be thats just right]

[someday Im gonna be in the light]

[you are in the light]

[thats where I need to be]

[thats right where I need to be]
