Let your little light shine

You are the light of the world.
A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.
Matthew 5:14

Whatever God let happen to you in 2010,
pleasurable or painful or a little of both, it’s over.

Are you still a believer?

If you’re starting 2011 with a faith in Jesus (Luke 18:8), no matter how small or riddled with questions, thank God for his mercy.

You are victorious.

Whoever you meet this year, wherever you go, however you get there,
be a light. Do good. Share the love. Let God shine.

However dim your candle,
it’s enough to brighten up a dark world.

Let your light shine before others,
so that they may see your good works and
give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 5:16

This Little Light
Addison Road
LYRICS

There's a little flame inside us all
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 whose child you are

CHORUS:
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
Let 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 their memories alive
Hold on to your dreams don't ever let go
There's a fire inside you burning with hope

CHORUS

There will be days when you want to give up
When the clouds settle in
But after the rain comes the sun
Don't you ever 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

CHORUS

There's a little light inside us all
