I Am The Light Of This World (version 1)

Just as long as I'm in this world

I am the light of this world

You don't believe in Jesus

And not a word he say

When he come all way down to Lazarus' grave

And raised him from the dead

Just as long as I'm in this world

I am the light of this world

I've got fiery fingers

I've got fiery hands

And when I get up in heaven

Gonna join that fiery band

Just as long as I'm in this world

I am the light of this world

Prayer is the key of heaven

And faith unlock the door

That's why my god give me the key

And he told me to carry it everywhere I go

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 out him in a kettle of oil

Well, my god got in there with him

And they told me the oil wouldn't boil

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
