When the ways of the world
Are too much on my shoulders
I gotta pray no, no, no
I've been seekin' salvation
Workin' it out with fear
And tremblin' in my soul
Father, my father
His strength is like the mornin' Sun
I keep on try, try
Tryin' to overcome

I just wanna be
I just wanna be
I just wanna be all that I can
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be out of his plan
Shine your light on me
There's so much
That I don't understand
Oh-oh

In the middle of my tribulation
He gives me a promise that I employ
I remember he said that to die is to live
Once again, I'm surprised by joy
I just gotta shout out to the holy one
There's no stop, stop
Stoppin' what he's begun

I just wanna be
I just wanna be
I just wanna be all that I can
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be out of his plan
Shine your light on me
There's so much
That I don't understand

He's the only way
He's the only way
He's the only way
He is my lord
He was yesterday
And he is today
And forever an opening door
He's the one I kneel before

It's your faith I seek
When my heart is weak
So shine your light on me
Shine your light on me

I just wanna be
I just wanna be
I just wanna be all that I can
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be out of his plan
Shine your light on me
There's so much
That I don't understand
