Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world
Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world
Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world
Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world

Oh, you don’t believe in Jesus
And not a word is said
When you come down to Lazarus’ grave
And raise him from the dead

Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world
Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world
Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world
Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world

I’ve got fiery fingers
And I’ve got fiery hands
And when I get up in heaven
Going to join that fiery band

Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world
Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world
Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world
Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world

Prayer is the key of heaven
And faith unlocked the door
That’s why my God gave me the key
And told me to carry it everywhere I go
Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world
Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world
Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world
Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world

I know I got religion
I know I ain’t ashamed
For the Holy Ghost is my witness
And the angels done signed my name

Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world
Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world
Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world
Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world

Didn’t they take old John the Baptist
And put him in the kettle of oil
My God got in there with him
And they tell me the oil wouldn’t boil

Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world
Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world
Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world
Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world
