Jorma Kaukonen and Tom Hobson - I Am the Light of This World

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
