With spoken intro - music starts at 1:22. From 'Gonna Let It Shine, A Concert For The Holidays' (2005), recorded by WFUV radio at Fordham University, New York
As a man who knows how to be evil, bad and uncaring all to well, it wasn't until I came to grasp that God is a forgiving God, I turned from my past and ran into the loving arms of our Father, I am a loving and giving man who has compassion for others and as it turns out I am a better person for it and now I like myself
AMEN!!! PRAISE GOD!!! ANGELS REJOICE AT ONE THAT COMES SALVATION!!! THE HEAVENS REJOICED BROTHER DAVID WHEN YOU STARTED LIVING FOR THE LORD!!! ALLELUIA!!! (capitals means I'm excited in my love of my Lord Jesus!!!)
The spoken intro brought tears to my eyes. I have heard the quote so much, but hearing it through the mouth of someone who truly embodies those words is something powerful and moving.
All of these messages from self proclaimed atheists, those who don't believe in God, etc...the light you emanate has moved me to tears. How I love you. Thank you for your honesty. I very much believe in God and feel I have more in common with you than many who proclaim they DO believe...
There is a light , and that light is the light of the Holy Spirit!!! AND the Lord wishes to shine that light ( His Light in us, and through us so others can see, and follow him (Jesus), The Light Of The World!!!!!
This little light of mine it has to always shine and show that God is there for me as well as you. Thanking you Odetta for giving me what I needed today. I love you Reverend Linda Stampley
Berdell Fleming she does, everyone I know from the civil rights movement in the 60s knew her well. Today's popular culture doesn't recognize but people outside of that certainly do.
Right there with ya man, I'm a Thelemite, and I'm almost entirely against the Bible, but it has it's beautiful parts and it inspires people like her to make songs like this, so there's some good it's done lol.
I'm playing this buetifull and spiritual song for my friend bobby senter who recently passed away unfortunately ,I enjoyed his company and he helped me out a number of times the short time I knew him!!, may he rest in paradise !!!
I LOVE HER.Tumbs up all and share it.That song its a light in this darkness time we are.The people like her .Can change the world :) .Tumbs UP from Montréal Québec ...Peace and Love :)
In memory of my precious friend Rhonda Early that I lost this morning. I can't wait to hear you sing this song in Heaven. Until I see you again my friend "I'm Gonna Let It Shine"
Dear lord thank you for making me more merciful and appreciative, and for helping me even though I'm a sinful person that does not deserve your help, amen!!!

Today is my mother's birthday, shelved this. Song ,.God bless ,.the woman that's singing it here. My mom was .is and always will.be my best freind!! Neomiie.luke tall December 4, 1935- September 11, 2010.
I don't believe in god... But I do believe in the power of this message and the passion with which it's delivered. It's true, just replace "god" with whatever you want. We are children of a vast, incredible universe, and we fear the power we don't understand. We must shine and let that goodness spread to those we meet in life.
I don't even like to sing no more. I'm depressed. I'm sad as fuck. Everything in life is beating me down. BUT NOT THIS SONG! I still sing this one every now and again just to keep myself from giving up lol 😢😅❤ Love this song so m7ch tha KS odetta
God is Awesome!!!! I have heard this song perhaps when I was five years old! and this song was in portuguese! Now, fourty years later, as I am going to teach it to my pupils at school, I just tryed to guess if there were it in English.... so there it is....PERFECT! Thank you for the intro. I would really appreciate to have it written.... if it is possible, because it make part of my life!!!! THANKS GOD! tHANK YOU!!!!!
@ sharuba, I was picking this song for Whitney (rip) funeral,, and with the trouble confusion in the world, your words are strong. "As we prepare to pass in the decades to come, let us pass this light to our children" let us not grow up in ignorance. especially to the determination of an Empire, disguised as a Democracit Republic for the people. who, by the way don't believe in killing each other! I mean, isn't that what we Preach? wake up, hold hands, don't let them break the line"
Just had a weird and wonderful thought. Can you imagine Odetta and Paul Robeson singing together? It would have been something to behold. Pity it never happened. Oh well, I can dream.
How blessed I am to have the honor of your spoken word and to hear your singing voice. The message was wonderful and powerful as the one who delivered it. I hope to keep these word in my mind, heart and soul. I wish for very best to you and may you continue to shine!!!! Thanks for sharing your light with me. I in return hope to do the same. Such inspiration.
I listen to this when i need rejuvinating...works everytime. What is spoken at the beginning is deep, then into the song with the best goddam piano rendition i've ever heard. Beautiful!
A reading of some very beautiful words written by Marianne Williamson, followed by a great rendition of "This Little Light of Mine" by Odetta... I have these words on my wall at the office where I can see them each day.
"You are a child of God". Indeed, through Jesus alone. The trouble is that too many people out there like to omit that part, and search for light - or anything like it - in themselves only, where none is to be found. If there is ever a time to reflect upon the Light of This world, Christmas is it. And when you do, you may come to realize the value of that Light in a world shrouded in a darkness, so deep and permanent that we kind of got used to it. There is more to this world than meets the eye.

From the time I was a child, singing this song and listening to versions of it, I still love this to this day!
What a presence?, what a voice,? A wonderful human being, she does not get enough credit for her contributions.
Berdell Fleming she does, everyone I know from the civil rights movement in the 60s knew her well. Today's popular culture doesn't recognize but people outside of that certainly do.
This song is very close to my heart, my mom used to sing it, it's very significant in terms, of gods love for humanity.
Odetta, you are such a wise and wonderful woman! Thank you for all, you gave to us! With your songs and religious firm believe to God! Amen!
Crying as I listen to it...bless The Lord o my soul!
Ms. Todd, I don't see how anyone could give this a thumbs down either! I worship Odetta. May she rest in peace.
I'm not religious or anything but this persons voice kicks ass

So true!!
Except the creators message but not him... That's like thanking the Apple and cursing the appletree....
I think that's very smart even though I don't agree with u on God not existing
Me too I replaced God with science
+april johnson You meant "accept" not "except". And that's a ridiculous example, no one thinks apple trees don't exist.
WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
