- “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.
- Every day, every day, every day, every way,
- Gonna let my little light shine.
- Light that shines is the light of love,
- Hides the darkness from above,
- Shines on me and it shines on you,
- Shows you 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,
- Let my little light shine.
- 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.
- 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,
- Just to let my little light shine.
- 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.
- 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.
- Shine, shine, shine, shine, shine.”
