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
