Traditional Negro/Black/African American Spiritual
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.

...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!!!!
