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
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
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
I know I been converted
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
