Odetta - This Little Light Of Mine (best version) chords
Start Jamming...
I want to bring to you something about you.
It is a quote, I quote,
Our worst fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond the measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.
It is not just in some of us.
It is in [A] everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.
This is with gratitude to Marianne Williamson, everybody.
There's a little light of mine.
I'm gonna let it shine.
There's a little light of mine.
