I like the song “In the Light” by DC Talk, a lot of the lyrics, if not, all the lyrics are just like what’s happening in my life. I just got curious today and decided to search on google about them and that song. I came across this page, rapidnet.com/~jbeard/dctalk.htm . Isn’t music a universal language?

From rapidnet.com/~jbeard/dctalk.htm

Don’t use God’s word to justify and condone
Worldly music that’s meant to destroy.
Some say: “Christian words make the song,
Nothing else really matters!”

I think I read somewhere in these forums about Christian Rock. I tried searching but that didn’t work. So I just made a new thread about it.

Here are the lyrics for “In The Light” by DC Talk. I’m struggling with Lust and this song is about me.

I keep trying to find a life
On my own, apart from you
I am the king of excuses
Ive got one for every selfish thing I do

Whats going on inside of me?
I despise my own behavior
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That Im still a man in need of a savior

(chorus)
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
Its a cancer fatal to my soul
Every attempt on my behalf has failed
To bring this sickness under control

Tell me, whats going on inside of me?
I despise my own behavior
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That Im still a man in need of a savior

(repeat chorus)

Honesty becomes me
[theres 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, whats going on inside of me?
I despise my own behavior
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
That Im still a man in need of a savior

(repeat chorus 2x)

[theres no other place that I want to be]
[no other place that I can see]
[a place to be thats just right]
[someday Im gonna be in the light]
[you are in the light]
[thats where I need to be]
[thats right where I need to be]​

Am I blind? Did I miss something?
