One heart, one voice
Living out love in this world of noise
My dream and my joy
Giving you all I have made a choice
Desperately I'm waiting
To answer your calling
[Chorus:]
I will be a candle in the darkness
I will be the hand of heaven above
I will be a mirror that reflects your
Endless love
I will be the hope among the hopeless
Where there is conflict I will be peace
Only by the power of your spirit that's living in me
I will be
Your heart, your plan
Give me your eyes help me understand
My feet, my hands
Holding out living hope to every man
Knowing what you've made me
With every single heartbeat
[Repeat Chorus]
Gracious, Gentle and Kind
Knowing that your love will shine
Through mine
[Repeat Chorus]
[Tag]
This little light of mine, I'm gonna
Let it shine
This little light of mine, yeah
