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

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
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, oh oh oh oh oh
All I want is to be in the Light

The disease 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

Tell me what's going on inside of me? I despise my own behavior
(despise my own behavior)
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That I'm still a man in need of a Savior (ooh yeah)

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, (ye-ah)
All I want is to be in the Light

Honesty becomes me (there's nothing left to lose)
The secrets that did run me (in Your Presence are refused)
Pride has no position (as riches have no worth)
The pain 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? (oh what's goin' on)
I despise my own behavior (despise my own behavior)
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That I'm still a man in need of a Savior (ooh yeah)

There's no other place I want to be no other place that i can see
a place to be that's just right, home
It's gonna be, it's gonna be in the Light, and You are in the Light
It's where I need to be, it's right where I need to be...
