This Little Light of Mine

This morning I'm sitting here drinking my coffee. My house is a wreck. It's practically weeping and begging me to clean it today. So, before I got started on the laundry and scrubbing I decided I need to make a playlist (procrastinate much?) I've been meaning to make a kid's song playlist on spotify. This morning I accomplished it and also stumbled upon this sweet song, a version of "This little light of mine" which is a song that I've been singing to Lily Belle for a few months now. She's starting the get the hang of it already but this one just tug at my heartstrings a bit so I thought I'd share.

"There's a little flame inside us all

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

Let 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"
