Story Behind the Song
I gave a CD of my music to a guy on the street as a witness for Christ. Turns out that this guy is a Pastor who also does music. For the next 2 months we work together on 3 songs. Blindman, Open Wide, and this one shine. Thank you Glen Bristole
Lyrics
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.
It’s my time to shine
In the beginning God said let there be light, so I’m a light it up
And hit you with the scripture till I fill ya up
I’m a shine but not to draw your attention to me
I’m a shine because I’m a reflection of God’s glory.
When my actions aint right my light grows dim
But I keep it in check cuz my actions reflect on him.
Bling Bling bout pump up the praise
But ya better step back cuz I’m about to blaze
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.
It’s my time to shine
Everywhere I go, I’m gonna let it shine
Everywhere I go, I’m gonna let it shine
Everywhere I go, I’m gonna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine
It’s my time to shine
Well I’m naughty by nature, but I’m saved by grace
And I just came by to drop a word on this place
I know this aint the church and I aint trying to preach
But God’s got a word that I believe can reach
Each and every one of you so what you gonna do
Why don’t you chill see what God’s got in store for you
Cuz you accomplish anything God calls you to do
And if you Stand for Christ, then he’ll stand for you
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.
It’s my time to shine
Hid it under a bush, O No, I’m gonna let it shine
Hid it under a bush, O No, I’m gonna let it shine
Hid it under a bush, O No, I’m gonna let it shine
Let it shine, Let it shine
It’s my time to shine
Now I aint trying to be a braggar
You wont see me walking around with a pimp daddy swagger
You wont see boasting on my own accomplishments
Or pointing at my trophes talking all that none sense
But when I say I CAN then you can believe it’s true
Cuz I can do anything that God calls me to do.
But it aint about what I’ve done or who I am
But it’s about Who’s I am what my God can
Accomplish through a sinner like me
God can take a nobody turn em into a somebody
He took a stutter named Moses
And turned him into a leader, took his people to the promise
He persecutor named Saul
Meet him on the Damascus road, now we call him the apostel Paul
See there might be things impossible for me or you
But there aint nothing inmpossible for me and God to Do
