I still absolutely love this song...

In The Light

Sung by DCTalk

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 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 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 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 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 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  

[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 I'm gonna be in the light] 
[you are in the light] 
[that's where I need to be] 
[that's right where I need to be]

And I love the words to this one too...it's been on my mind a lot lately...

See The Glory

Sung by Steven Curtis Chapman

I never did like the word mediocre

I never wanted it to be said of me, oh, no

Just point me to the job and I’d go over, over

Looking for the very best that could be 

So what is this thing I see

Going on inside of me?

When it comes to the grace of God

Sometimes it’s like …

I’m playing Gameboy standing in

the middle of the Grand Canyon

I’m eating candy sittin’ at a gourmet feast

I’m wading in a puddle when I

could be swimming in the ocean

Tell me what’s the deal with me

Wake up and see the glory

Every star in the sky tells His story

And every breeze is singing His song

All of creation is imploring

Hey, come see this grand phenomenon 

The wonder of His grace

Should take my breath away

I miss so many things 

when I’m consumed with …

 playing Gameboy standing in

the middle of the Grand Canyon

I’m eating candy sittin’ at a gourmet feast

I’m wading in a puddle when I

could be swimming in the ocean

I know the time has come for me to

Wake up and see the glory 

How could I trivialize it

This awesome gift of God’s grace?

Once I have come to realize it

I should be speechless and amazed 

Wake up and see the glory

Open your eyes and take it in

Wake up and be amazed

Over and over again 

God’s love is coming to you and to me

Wake up, wake up

Open your eyes
