Lyrics: 
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
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
It's a cancer fatal to my soul
Every attempt on my behalf has failed
To bring the sickness under control

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
All I want is to be in the light
All I want is to be in the light

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
All I want is to be in the light
All I want is to be in the light

Honesty becomes me, there's nothing left to lose
The secrets that did ruin 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

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
All I want is to be in the light
All I want is to be in the light
All I want is to be in the light
