This Little Light of Mine
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This little light of mine, I'm going to let it shine
This little light of mine, I'm going to let it shine
This little light of mine, I'm going to let it shine
Every day, every day, every day, every day
Gonna let my little light shine.
On Monday, he gave me the gift of love
On Tuesday, peace came from above
On Wednesday told me to have more faith
On Thursday, gave me a little more grace
On Friday, told me to watch and pray
On Saturday, told me just what to say
On Sunday, gave power divine
Just to let my little light shine. (oh.)
This little light of mine, I'm going to let it shine
This little light of mine, I'm going to let it shine
This little light of mine, I'm going to let it shine
Every day, every day, every day, every day
Gonna let my little light shine.
Now some say you got to run and hide
But we say there's no place to hide
And some say let others decide
But we say let the people decide.
Some say the time's not right
But we say the time's just right
If there's a dark corner in our land
You got to let your little light shine. (oh.)
This little light of mine, I'm going to let it shine
This little light of mine, I'm going to let it shine
This little light of mine, I'm going to let it shine
Every day, every day, every day, every day
Gonna let my little light shine...
