    MP3 of this song

    This little light of mine
    I'm going to let it shine
    Oh, this little light of mine
    I'm going to let it shine
    Hallelujah
    This little light of mine
    I'm going to let it shine
    Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

    Ev'ry where I go
    I'm going to let it shine
    Oh, ev'ry where I go
    I'm going to let it shine
    Hallelujah
    Ev'ry where I go
    I'm going to let it shine
    Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

    All in my house
    I'm going to let it shine
    Oh, all in my house
    I'm going to let it shine
    Hallelujah
    All in my house
    I'm going to let it shine
    Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

    I'm not going to make it shine
    I'm just going to let it shine
    I'm not going to make it shine
    I'm just going to let it shine
    Hallelujah
    I'm not going to make it shine
    I'm just going to let it shine
    Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

    Out in the dark
    I'm going to let it shine
    Oh, out in the dark
    I'm going to let it shine
    Hallelujah
    Out in the dark
    I'm going to let it shine
    Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

    As with many spirituals this song was adapted by teh Civil Rights Movement of the 1950's and 60's. It became a powerful peaceful weapon in the freedom movement.

      ::holding up my lighter::
      ...and wishing I was at a Seal concert!

      (doesn't it suck that they use cellphones instead of lighters at concerts these days?)

      Beautiful photo and one of my favorite spiritual songs. Have not seen you photos lately and wondered where you have been.
      It's been a difficult time again this December.....it seems once can never escape cancer in the family. This light shows hope. It's beautiful .....and wonderful to greet this day with!!!!
