In The Light Lyrics

Artist: DC Talk
Album: Jesus Freak

[1, 2, 3]

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

(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
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
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That I'm still a man in need of a Savior

(repeat chorus)

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 suspicions
That I'm still a man in need of a Savior

(repeat chorus 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]

I really like the song for it is true that if you are in God you will never fall nor stumble for your path is bright.You'll never go wrong with Jesus

For me, this song is different. I come to this song when I stumble and fall off the narrow road. This song speaks to me about the struggle between my relationship with God and my new self in him and my old self and its desires and behaviors. I am in constant struggle, but I take each stumble as a reminder that even though I've accept Jesus as my savior and embarked on a journey with God, "I'm still a (wo)man in need of a savior".
Despite my desire to be in the light, I am still human and need some help... a lot of help actually.

I love this song. I fist heard it at my youth group it really hit me straight in the heart. It helps me stay firm in my steps and folow Christ no matter what.
The first verse really opened my eyes and the chorus that followed...it showed that though I follow Christ as best as I can, I still am in the shadows and its harder to turn away from excuses and follow christs love. He only can heal my sickness of sin.

This song means a lot to me....I tend to slowly walk away from God but this song always reminds me of how great God is and that with out Him I am nothing. We all should be IN THE LIGHT....Thank you God for Blessing DC Talk with talent and faith.
