I Am the Light of This World
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
Oh, you don’t believe in Jesus
And not a word is said
When you come way down to Lazarus’ grave
And raise him from the dead
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Oh, I’ve got fiery fingers
I’ve got fiery hands
And when I get up in heaven
Going to join that fiery band
[Chorus]
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
Oh, I am the light
Oooh, I am the light of this world
[Verse 3]
Shout around all that you wanna
For I ain't gonna be here long
'Cause my soul is anchored in Jesus
And the world can't do me no harm
[Chorus]
Just as long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world
Long as I’m in this world, I am the light of this world
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
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
Talk to me now
[Verse 5]
I know I've been converted
God knows I ain't ashamed
For the holy ghost is my witness
And the angels done signed my name
[Chorus]
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
