This Little Light of Mine

Chorus:
G                                                            G7
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine.
C                                                              G
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine.
G                         
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine.
         G                D               G
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

 

G
The light that shines is the light of love, 
C7
Lights the darkness from above, 
G
It shines on me and it shines on you, 
D
And it shows what the power of love can do. 
G
I'm gonna shine my light both far and near, 
C7
I'm gonna shine my light both bright and clear, 
G
Where there's a dark corner in this land, 
                 G         D             G
I'm gonna let my little light shine. 
 
Chorus: 

 

G

On Monday, He gave me the gift of love. 
C7

On Tuesday, peace came from above.
G

On Wednesday he told me to have more faith, 
D

On Thursday he gave me a little more grace, 
G

On Friday he told me to watch and pray, 
C7

On Saturday he told me just what to say, 
G

On Sunday he gave me the power divine 
            G         D             G

Just to let my little light shine.
