notes

1st verse
I keep trying to find a light
on my own, apart from You.
I am the king of excuses.
I've got one for every selfish thing I do.

Pre-Chorus
Tell me what's going on inside of me.
I despise my own behaviour.
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
that I'm still a man in need of a saviour.

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.

2nd verse
The desease 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.

Pre-Chorus, Chorus

Bridge
Honesty becomes me there's nothing left to loose.
The secrets that did run me in your presence are diffused.
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!
