[ Johnny ]

When you told that man about Jesus and his precious love

Did you let your light shine did you let your light shine 

Oh was it just a matter of a bunch of empty words

Did you let your light shine did you let your light shine

Well don't you try to give it away if you don't have it yourself

Cause if your spirit is poverty stricken you can't give away such wealth

You must see clearly for you know the blind can't lead the blind

Did you let your light shine did you let your light shine

[ guitar ]

Well auction always speaks much louder than your words would sound

Did you let your light shine did you let your light shine

For did you act out all you preached to beg it really count

Did you let your light shine did you let your light shine

Well don't you try...

Did you let your light shine did you let your light shine

This little light of mine I'm a gonna let it shine

This little light of mine I'm a gonna let it shine

This little light of mine I'm a gonna let it shine

Did you let your light shine did you let your light shine

Did you let your light shine did you let your light shine
