Jeremy Camp's song 'Christ in Me' is a prayerful declaration of surrender and dependence on Christ. The lyrics contrast worldly pursuits with the freedom found in God's mercy, expressing a desire to be emptied of self so that Christ's presence fills every part of life. The song emphasizes fixing one's eyes on Jesus as the source of life and letting others see Christ living in the believer. It reflects themes of repentance, release from bondage, and a longing for spiritual transformation, echoing the biblical idea of being a new creation in Christ.

In this obsession with the things this world says make us happy
Can't see the slaves we are in all the searching all the grasping
Like we deserve much more than all these blessing we're holding
So now I'm running free into an ocean of mercy unending
So come and empty me
So that it's you I breathe
I want my life to be
Only Christ in me
So I will fix my eyes
'Cause you're my source of life
I need the world to see
That it's Christ in me
That it's Christ in me
Done with what holds me down the things I once was chasing after
Throw off these heavy chains that I have let become my master
So now I'm running free into an ocean of mercy unending
So come and empty me
So that it's you I breathe
I want my life to be
Only Christ in me
So I will fix my eyes
'Cause you're my source of life
I need the world to see
That it's Christ in me
That it's Christ in me
In this obsession with the things this world says make us happy
Can't see the slaves we are in all the searching all the grasping
So come and empty me
So that it's you I breathe
I want my life to be
Only Christ in me
So I will fix my eyes
'Cause you're my source of life
I need the world to see
Only Christ in me
Only Christ in me
Only Christ in me
Christ in me
