R. This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine,
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine,
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
1. The light that shines is the light of love,
Lights the darkness from above,
It shines on you and it shines on me,
And it shows what the light of love can do.
I’m gonna shine my light both far and near,
I’m gonna shine mine light bright and clear,
Where there’s a dark corner in this land
I’m gonna let my little light shine.
2. On Monday he gave me the gift of love,
Tuesday peace came from above,
Wednesday he told me to have more faith,
And on Thursday he brought me the gift of grace.
And then on Friday he told me « Watch and pray »,
And then on Saturday what to say,
On Sunday he gave me the power divine
To let my little light shine.
Refrain alternatif :
Jesus is the light, I’m gonna let Him shine,
Jesus is the light, I’m gonna let Him shine.
Jesus is the light, I’m gonna let Him shine,
Let Him shine, let Him shine, let Him shine.
