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.
The light that shines is the light of love,
Lights the darkness from above,
It shines on me and it shines on you,
And shows what the power of love can do,
I’m gonna shine my light both far and near,
I’m gonna shine by light both bright and clear,
Where there’s a dark corner in this land
I’m gonna let my little light shine.
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.
Monday he gave me the gift of love,
Tuesday, peace came from above,
On Wednesday he told me to have more faith,
On Thursday he gave me a little more grace,
Friday he told me just to watch and pray,
Saturday he told me just what to say,
On Sunday he gave me the pow’r divine
To let my little light shine.
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.

I LOVE SING UP
Great song!!!....more jazzier than the boring piano accompaniment that I bang out!
Great song, but the diction on the recording isn't good enough for a song that, 'gives pupils a great chance to practise their diction'! Are there any other versions?
Fantastic, just what I need for my PSHE lesson on talents. This will get the children motivated.
I am so impressed with this site - I will have to improve my IT skills in order to submit my own songs of which I have loads that I have written mostly for the Foundation Stage but also some musicals for KS2.
Many thanks, this is great!
love it - just what I was looking for, great soundtrack, good strong lead, good words,brilliant
