SONG
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine
The light that shines is the light of love,
lights the darkness from above,
it shines on me & it shines on you,
and shows what the power of love can do.
Shine my light both bright and clear
Shine my light both far and near
In every dark corner that I find
I'm gonna let my little light shine
Monday gave me the gift of love
Tuesday peace came from above
Wednesday told me to have more faith
Thursday gave me a little more grace
Friday told me to watch and pray
Saturday told me just what to say
Sunday gave me the power divine
To let my little light shine
