Let your light so shine
i was told and so i did
i put it on a lampstand
my lil light was never hid
for anyone who was blind
i shone for all to see
anyone who was cold
could get their warm from me
but my light was covered
again and yet again
by bushel baskets of dark ladies
and the darkness of angry men
i don't know why they hid it
perhaps it hurt their eyes?
it was so very bright
for one so small in size
and yet i kept it burning
my lighthouse on the wave
a sinking someone to rescue
some poor lost ship to save
it burns so hot it hurts me
but i'll have to let it scar
i dare not put it out
for it must travel so far
should it be snuffed out
anyone might trip or fall
there are so many in need
and i must reach them all
so come the dark and drear
come the night and fear
come the angry creatures
my light is still here
the terrors they may howl
the tigers they will roar
my little light is shining
hurry and find the door
through dark in the lightness
though the night be blind
i'll shine in the darkness
with this little light of mine
Love always, mar
