This Little Light of Mine...

Addison Road has put out a great new version of one of my favorite childhood VBS favorites.  As a child, one of my greatest memories I have is listening to Bible songs on a cassette in our car and singing along to them.  I must say that this is still one of my favorite things to do is to listen to Christian music wherever I am driving along and sing to it. Every once in a while a song will strike a chord with me and remind me of what life should be like and what it should truly be about. I have really been struggling with what it means to let your light shine. I feel like I should be doing more all the time.  This song helped me realize it is in our very small actions in everyday situations that help us shine our light for Christ. I pray that I am able to do this and hope that you will join me in letting His light shine in this dark world!

Here are the lyrics to help you:
There's a little flame inside a soul
Some shine bright
Some shine small
The rains will come
And the waters rise
But don't you ever lose your light

In this life you will know
Love and pain
Joy and sorrow
So when it hurts
When times get hard
Don't forget who's child you are

This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine
I'm Gonna let it shine
Gonna let it shine

May you live each day
With no regret
Make the most of every chance you get
And your eyes get wide
When you look at the stars
With the same sense of wonder as a child's heart

With the ones you love
Treasure the time
And for those who are gone
Keep the memories alive

Hold on to your dreams
Don't ever let go
There's a fire inside you
Burning with hope

This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
Gonna let it shine

There will be days when you wanna give up
When clouds settle in
But after the rain comes the sun
Don't you ever forget
Don't forget
Don't, don't forget

One day there will be no more pain
And we will finally see Jesus' face
So until then I'm gonna try
To brave the dark
And let my little light shine

This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
Gonna let it shine

This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
Gonna let it shine
Oh, shine
Gonna let it shine
There's a little light inside us all



And here is a video with everything put together!!







Let your little Light shine today!!!
