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
(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
This disease of self runs through my blood (through my blood)
It’s a cancer fatal to my soul
Every help 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
(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
(BRIDGE)
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 suspicion
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 (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
