(1, 2, 3)
Acoustic guitar solo
Verse 1:
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.
Pre-Chorus 1
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.
(Hook)
I want to be in the Light
As You are in the Light
I want to 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.
Verse 2:
The disease of self runs through my blood (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.
Pre-Chorus #2
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 Hook)
Bridge 1:
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.
Bridge 2:
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 Hook 2x)
Vamp
In the Light (repeat)
I want to be, I want to be in the Light.
(Repeat as desired)
Adlib
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.
