                      da da dum     ooh       dada da dum





E       F#        G#m          B*      E    F#        G#m   F#   

i keep trying to find a life,   on my own apart from You

E         F#        G#m    B*         E             F#   

i am the king of excuses,   i've got one for every selfish 

        G#m  

thing i do





(release palm mute)

E            F#   G#m                E       F#    G#m  

What's going on inside of me?   i despise my own behavior

          E            F#   G#m            

This only serves to confirm my suspicions 

         E              F#        G#m

that i'm still a man in need of a Savior

             E         B         F#             G#m

     i wanna be in the Light, as You are in the Light

             E              B            F#

     i wanna shine like the stars in the Heavens

        E           B          F#       G#m

     Oh Lord, be my Light, and be my salvation

            E             B            F#

     'Cause all i want is to be in the Light, oh  oh oh oh oh

     E             B            F#

     All i want is to be in the Light

    E          F#        G#m               B*

The disease of self runs through my blood, 

       E      F#          G#m (G#m-G#m-G#m)

it's a cancer fatal to my soul

E        F#            G#m              B*                

Every attempt on my behalf has failed, 

   E                   F#       G#m

to bring this sickness under control





(release palm mute)

        E           B          F#       G#m

Honesty becomes me (there's nothing left to lose)

    E                B               F#

The secrets that did run me (in Your Presence are refused)

C#m          D#m          G#m

Pride has no position (as riches have no worth)

    E                  B                  F#

The pain that once did cover me has been sentenced to this earth

         F#

Has been sentenced to this earth
