Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A-amen, a-amen
A-amen, amen, amen
[Verse 2]
A-amen, a-amen
A-amen, amen, amen
[Verse 3]
Let me tell you something, children
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine, yeah
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine to show my love
[Verse 4]
I wanna tell you that everywhere I go
I'm gonna let it shine
And everywhere I go
I'm gonna let it shine, yeah
Everywhere I go
I'm gonna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine to show my love
[Verse 5]
I gotta tell you that
Even in my home
I'm gonna let it shine
Even in my home
I'm gonna let it shine, yeah
Even in my home
I'm gonna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine to show my love
[Verse 6]
I gotta tell you that
When I see my neighbor coming
I'm gonna let it shine
I think I see my neighbor coming
I better let it shine, yeah
When I see my neighbor coming
I'm gonna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine to show my love
[Verse 7]
I would like to say
A-amen, a-amen
A-amen, amen
I want everybody to join me on the last course, everybody
A-amen a little louder
A-amen with the sprit
A-amen, amen, amen
Yeah, that's what I like
Amen
