[ Johnny ] 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 such wealth 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 [ guitar ] Well auction always speaks 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... Did you let your light shine did you let your light 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 This little light of mine I'm a gonna let it shine Did you let your light shine did you let your light shine Did you let your light shine did you let your light shine
