Christian Music Sunday - 16/8/2009

Today's song is an oldie but a goodie - another from the now-defunct band dc Talk, and one of their biggest hits. It's a song about the personal struggle of living a life that's out of step with God.

Check out these lyrics from the first verse and chorus, and you'll get our drift:

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

So here to inspire and lift you up - In the Light:
