This Little Light

“Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid” (Matthew5:14 KJV).
“No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light” (Luke 11:33 KJV).
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in the heaven” (Matthew 5:16 KJV).

* Christiansen, Avis Burgeson. “This Little Light of Mine.” 1920. Harry Dixon Loes, composer.

“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.

Won’t let Satan blow it out.

I’m gonna let it shine.

Won’t let Satan blow it out.

I’m gonna let it shine, let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

Let it shine til Jesus comes.

I’m gonna let it shine.

Let it shine til Jesus comes.

I’m gonna let it shine, let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

Hide it under a bushel – NO!

I’m gonna let it shine

Hide it under a bushel – NO!

I’m gonna let it shine, let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

Let it shine over the whole wide world, I’m gonna let it shine.

Let it shine over the whole wide world, I’m gonna let it shine, let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.”*
