Song Lyrics

"In The Light"

by Charlie Peacock
Album: Love Life

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 saviour.

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 the 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.

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,
Bring me into the presence of the Father,
I will follow right behind, true love I will find,
All I want is to be in the light,
All I want is to be in the light.

Is there such a thing as an inner peace'
If there is, then a man of peace I want to be,
I will need your help if I'm ever to be that,
If I'm to lay down, lay down, lay down,
Then I'll lay my life for my brothers and sisters,
I will need your help,
Jesus, I need your light, forever shining bright.

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.
