did you let your light shine

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

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

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 if you don't have it yourself

if your spirit is poverty stricken you can't give away much wealth

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

did you let your light shine

did you let your light shine

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
