I got scared of taking chances, so I stayed in bed
Tangled up, my inhibitions messin' with my head
I was tired and feeling foolish 'bout some things I'd done
So I stayed away far out of sight of everyone
And this little light of mine
I wouldn't let it shine
Burning flame that used to fuel me faded to a spark
Now I sit in contemplation, lonely in the dark
I remember times I was convinced that You were there
So I'm cryin' out, Lord Jesus please receive this prayer
'Cause this little light of mine
I still wanna let it shine
I wanna let it shine, shine, shine
I wanna let it shine, ohoh
So please forgive me for the things I should have said and done
All the time I've wasted out of sight of everyone
Fan the spark into a fire, never let it die
And I will tell the story of Your mercy far and wide
And this little light of mine
I am gonna let it shine
I'm gonna let it shine, shine, shine
I'm gonna let it shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine
I'm gonna let it shine, shine, shine
I'm gonna let it shine, shine, shine
Shine, shine, shine, shine, shine, shine
