THIS LITTLE LIGHT OF MINE

Traditional



Chorus: 

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) 

Chorus 

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)
