245. This Little Light of Mine

1 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.

2 Hide it under a basket? No!
I'm gonna let it shine.
Hide it under a basket? No!
I'm gonna let it shine,
let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

3 Don't let anyone (blow) it out.
I'm gonna let it shine.
Don't let anyone (blow) it out.
I'm gonna let it shine,
let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

4 Share my light with others! Yes!
I'm gonna let it shine.
Share my light with others! Yes!
I'm gonna let it shine,
let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
