Peace and prayers to you, Huck. Sounds like you already know what to do -- may God give you strength to accomplish His will and purpose for your 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 Savior

I want to be in the Light
As You are in the Light
I want to shine like the stars in the heavens
Oh Lord, be my light and be my salvation
Because 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

I want to be in the Light
As You are in the Light
I want to shine like the stars in the heavens
Oh Lord, be my light and be my salvation
Because 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 diffused

Pride has no position
And riches have no worth
The fame that once did cover me
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

I want to be in the Light
As You are in the Light
I want to shine like the stars in the heavens
Oh Lord, be my light and be my salvation
Because all I want is to be in the Light
