This Little Light of Mine

Welcome to Rickey Phipps Songwriter! I wrote “This Little Light of Mine” as a heartfelt Country Gospel song about faith, surrender, and the need for God's grace in our lives. Sometimes we try our best to keep our light shining through life's storms, but our own strength is not enough. We need the Lord to renew our hearts, strengthen our faith, and help us shine His light in a dark world. Through these lyrics, I share the struggle of a weary soul that has tried to overcome life's hardships alone, only to discover that true hope comes from surrendering to the Lord. This song reminds me that God's salvation, mercy, and healing grace can rekindle even the smallest spark of faith. If you enjoy traditional Country Gospel music, inspirational Christian songs, heartfelt gospel lyrics, and music that points your heart toward Jesus Christ, I hope this song encourages you. My prayer is that it reminds you that you do not have to face life's storms alone. Let the Lord breathe new life into your soul and help your little light shine. 🎵 This Little Light of Mine ✍️ Written By: Rickey Phipps LYRICS (Spoken Intro) This little light of mine, I've tried to let it shine. This little light of mine, I've tried to let it shine. This little light of mine, I've tried to let it shine. But O' Lord it won't shine without your help. (Verse 1) Well, the shadows lengthened early down the road I was on And I stumbled through the valley when my strength was nearly gone I had a pocketful of promises and a weary, broken doubt And the wick was burning lower till the flame was flickering out. (Chorus) This little light of mine, I've tried to let it shine. This little light of mine, I've tried to let it shine. This little light of mine, I've tried to let it shine. But O' Lord it won't shine without your help. (Verse 2) Now the world is full of windstorms and the rain is falling fast Trying to drown the tiny spark that's holding to the last I looked into the mirror at the weakness in my soul And I realized my own two hands could never keep me whole. (Chorus) This little light of mine, I've tried to let it shine. This little light of mine, I've tried to let it shine. This little light of mine, I've tried to let it shine. But O' Lord it won't shine without your help. (Verse 3) I'm laying down my heavy load, I'm dropping all my pride And kneeling where your healing waters flow down deep and wide. I tried to fan the embers by the work of my own hands Just a broken-hearted pilgrim in a hard and lonely land. (Bridge) So breathe upon these ashes, Lord, and make the embers glow Let the light of Your salvation be the only light I know I can't keep this flame burning by the strength that's left in me But Your grace can light the darkness and set this captive free. (Chorus) This little light of mine, I've tried to let it shine. This little light of mine, I've tried to let it shine. This little light of mine, I've tried to let it shine. But O' Lord it won't shine without your help. (Guitar Solo) (Outro) Yeah, this little light of mine, Lord help me make it shine.
