In The Light Lyrics


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
What's goin' 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
'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 goin' 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
'Cause 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 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 goin' 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
'Cause 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
'Cause 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
In the light, in the light
In the light, in the light
(I want to be, I want to be)
In the light, in the light
(I want to be, I want to be)
In the light, in the light
(I want to be, I want to be)
In the light, in the light
(I want to be, I want to be)
In the light, in the light
(I want to be, I want to be)
In the light, in the light
(I want to be, I want to be)
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, someday in the light
You are in the light
That's where I need to be
That's right where I need to be

dc Talk is made up of Toby McKeehan (TobyMac), Michael Tait, and Kevin Max.

The three met while they were young men at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. They formed the band dc Talk (a reference to Washington D.C., but later marketed as 'decent Christian talk' by their label) and, as of the year 2000, spent twelve solid years together, performing all over the world, recording 6 albums, and earning many awards, including 4 Grammy awards.

Their music, aimed at a younger audience, combined hip-hop, rap, and R&B sensibilities and filled a gap in 1980s Christian Music and gave them a unique niche. Their first three albums, dc Talk, Nu Thang, and Free At Last started from their rap/hip-hop roots but increasingly included melodic vocal rock influences. Their 1995 studio album, Jesus Freak, continued this musical evolution by eshewing almost all rap elements and adopting a harder modern rock/grunge sound on many songs, especially the title track. Their most recent studio album, Supernatural, draws on their previous efforts while moving towards mainstream pop stylings.

Their signature sound in all albums is their use of the three members' different vocal skills separately and together. They are often lauded for their lyrical sophistication, addressing many themes in Christian theology, faith, and practice.

After more than ten years together as a group, they are taking a break in recording together to pursue their own activities outside of the band, and launch solo careers in recording music. Michael Tait formed his own band, Tait, and has most recently served as the frontman for Newsboys. Toby McKeehan has released music under the name TobyMac, and has been the most sucessful of the three. Kevin Max has released two solo albums of his own.
