I've tried so hard to change this world
I've raged against the wind
I wanted people to believe in Christ
And turn their backs on sin
I fought the battle for myself
Made the world my own crusade
But forcing my own selfish will
Is the opposite of my faith
I can't control the world without
But if my heart's secure in Him
His light will shine without a doubt
From the world within
I'm through with pointing fingers now
People only turn away
It's about the kind of things I do
Not just what I say
If Christ is Lord inside of me
What a witness they will see
I can't control the world without
But if my heart's secure in Him
His light will shine without a doubt
From the world within
If I live His love His truth will be revealed
Like a star up in the sky or a city on a hill
I can't control the world without
But if my heart's secure in Him
His light will shine without a doubt
From the world within
