Shine

This song, and this message, has been on my mind the last couple days. Just wanted to share:)

There's a little flame
inside a soul
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

And 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

There's a little
light inside us all.
