[chorus]
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine. (3x)
Ev'ry day, all the way,
I let my little light shine.
[1]
On Monday He gave me the gift of love.
On Tuesday peace came from above.
On Wednesday He told me to watch and pray.
On Thursday He gave me the words to say.
On Friday He told me to have more faith.
On Saturday He gave me a little more grace.
On Sunday He gave me a part divine,
to let my little light shine.
[2]
The light that shines is a light of love,
lights the darkness from above.
It shines on me and it shines on you,
shows what the pow'r of love can do.
I'm gonna let it shine both far and near,
let it shine both bright and clear.
Everywhere that I will go
I'm gonna let them know.
