[Intro: TobyMac]
We'd like to dedicate this song to a friend of ours
We met him in the hospital today
He had been burned from head to toe
But he goes on living in God's light
His name is Brian, and you can keep him in prayer

[Verse 1: TobyMac]
Yeah, I keep tryin' 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

[Pre-Chorus: Michael Tait, with TobyMac & Kevin Max, Kevin Max]
Tell me what's goin' on inside of me?
I despise my own behavior
This only serves to confirm my suspicions, yeah
That I'm still a man in need of a Savior

[Chorus: DC Talk, Michael Tait]
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 ooh oh oh)
And all I want is to be in the light
[Verse 2: TobyMac, Michael Tait, Together, DC Talk]
The disease of self runs through my blood (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: Michael Tait, with TobyMac & Kevin Max, Kevin Max]
Ooh, tell me what's goin' on inside of me? (What's goin' on?)
I despise my own behavior (Despise my own behavior)
This only serves to confirm my suspicions, yeah
That I'm still a man in need of a Savior (Ooh)

[Chorus: DC Talk, Michael Tait, Kevin Max]
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 (Sha da da da day)
All I want is to be in the light (True)

[Post-Chorus: Kevin Max]
Da da da
Do do do
Da da da
You're gonna be there someday

[Bridge: Kevin Max, TobyMac]
Honesty becomes me
There's nothin' left to lose
Ah, the secrets that did run me, oh
In Your presence are defused
Pride has no position
As riches have no worth
All the fame that once did cover me
Has been sentenced to this Earth
Has been sentenced to this Earth
[Pre-Chorus: Michael Tait, with TobyMac & Kevin Max, Kevin Max]
Ah, tell me what's goin' on inside of me? (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 (Of a Savior)

[Chorus: DC Talk, Michael Tait, Kevin Max]
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 (Sha da da da day)
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
'Cause all I want is to be in the light (Oh do dom dom day)
All I want is to be in the light, yeah
All I want is to be in the light (Oh yeah)

[Post-Chorus: DC Talk, Kevin Max, Michael Tait, TobyMac & Kevin Max]
In the light, in the light (Like bright)
In the light, in the light, oh yeah
Ooh yeah
In the light, in the light (Oh yeah) (Yeah)
In the light—
[Interlude: TobyMac, Kevin Max, Crowd, Michael Tait]
You sing!
In the light
In the light
In the light
In the light (Yeah)
He is the light
He is the light (Oo-oo-ooh)
He is the light
He is the light (Ooh nanananana nana)
