Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Yeah, yeah
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
I'm gonna put it on a stand, I won't give up the fight
I'm got a stamp o' courage, I won't be discouraged
I'm gonna stand in the truth and that the truth is knowledge
And I am blessed, I'm blessed, I'm blessed,
to have a love like this, like this, like this,
Yes, I am a son of the King
I know that I'm accepted
I have a destiny
And I won't be rejected
And I want you to feel it, so that is why I say this
I let it out
Spread those balls
Making God famous
I'm'a let it shine
This little light of mine
I'll put the news on a stand and I won't let it hide
So you can come and ask, and I will tell the truth
'Cause my story stands before you and it's living proof
If He did it for me, then He'll do it for you
He's knocking on the door, so what you gonna do?
Chorus:
This little light a light o' mine
I'm gonna let it let it shine
This little light a light o' mine
I'm gonna let it let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine
Let it shine
Oh, Let it shine
x2
This little light o' mine
I'm gonna let it shine
An' I'm gonna testify
I live my life, a grand design
I believe it
Yeah, you're the reason why
Now I see it
No longer fakin', no longer confused
So I give you praise 'cause I love what you do
'Cause you give me something people don't understand (Yo)
You know you make me wanna be a better man (So)
I'm gonna go out and talk to your people... [yes yes yes]
I'm gonna talk to your people
Give 'em the chance to get up and to hear the truth
And the truth is your the reason why I'm breathing
Chorus:
This little light a light o' mine
I'm gonna let it let it shine
This little light a light o' mine
I'm gonna let it let it shine
Let it shine

Oh, let it shine

Yeah open up the door let the people pass through
See the light on the hill and it shines right through
Coz hes reaching out a hand callin out to you
Chorus:

Do you wanna be a saint to the nation
Are you gonna change your generation
Is it gonna be your motivation?
All you gotta do is start a conversation

[Child voice]
[You are the light of the world
A city on a hill that cannot be hidden
Cannot be hidden]
