Take the candle from the table light the lamp

Take the lamp, please go outside and look around

When you find the one that's missing from the other ninety-nine

Please take me home , relight my little candle

This little light of mine I didn't let it shine

This little light of mine I have failed to let it shine

This new light of mine,
I promise, I'm gonna let it shine

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

I won't hide it in my Bible,
I won't hide it around my neck

I won't hide it in the church pew,
I won't hide it in my head

I won't hide it anywhere I'm gonna let it shine

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

Cause you took the candle from the table lit the lamp

you took the lamp and went outside and looked around

When you found the one that was missing from the other ninety-nine

you took me home and relit my little candle

This little light of mine I'm 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
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

I won't hide it in my Bible,
I won't hide it around my neck
I won't hide it in the church pew,
I won't hide it in my head
I won't hide it anywhere I'm gonna let it shine

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine

I won't let satan blow it out,
no I'm gonna let it shine

I won't let anyone blow it out
no I'm gonna let it shine

Oh I myself will not blow it out ,
Oh I'm gonna let it shine,
let it shine, let it shine, 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

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

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine
