When you told that man about Jesus and his precious love
Did you let your light shine did you let your light shine
Oh was it just a matter of a bunch of empty words

Did you let your light shine did you let your light shine
Well don't you try to give it away if you don't have it yourself
Cause if your spirit is poverty stricken you can't give away much wealth
[ Nat ]
For you must see clearly for you know the blind can't lead the blind
(Did you let your light shine did you let your light shine)
[ Nat ]
Auctions always speak much louder than your words would sound
Did you let your light shine did you let your light shine
For did you act out all you preached to beg it really count
Did you let your light shine did you let your light shine
Well don't you try to give it away...
Did you let your light shine did you let your light shine
[ Both ]
Well this little light of mine I'm a gonna let it shine
This little light of mine I'm a gonna let it shine
This little light of mine I'm a gonna let it shine let it shine let it shine let it shine
This little light of mine...
