“This Little Light of Mine” is a traditional gospel song written by Harry Dixon Loes and first collected by musicologist John Lomax in 1939.
It was often sung during civil rights protests in the ‘50s & '60s, when Sam Cooke’s version was popular.
The song’s theme has been attributed to a number...
This little light of mine im gonna let it shine
This little light of mine im gonna let it shine
This little light of mine im 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
Its shines on me and it shines on you
And shows what the power of love can do
Im gonna shine my light both far and near
Im gonna shine my light both bright and clear
And when there's a dark corner in this land
Im gonna let my little light shine
This little light of mine im gonna let it shine
This little light of mine im gonna let it shine
This little light of mine im gonna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine
On 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
On Friday he told me to watch and pray
Saturday he told me just what to say
On Sunday he gave me the power of to let my little light shine
This little light of mine im gonna let it shine
This little light of mine im gonna let it shine
This little light of mine im gonna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine
YEAH!
This Little Light of Mine was written by Harry Dixon Loes.
