My Lord he done just what he said Let your light from the lighthouse shine on me Heal the sick and raise the dead Let your light from the lighthouse shine on. I know I've got religion, I ain't ashamed Let your light from your lighthouse shine on me Angels in the heaven done wrote my name Let your light from the lighthouse shine on. Blind Willie Johnson version. "Probably adapted from a spiritual heard at white churches." www.alex-blue-pages.com Leadbelly (Hudie Leadbetter) sang a somewhat different version. Not the same song as the extremely variable "This Little Light Of Mine." @religion @gospel @?spiritual |

The singer adds comments ["testifies"] to his rendition of the song's lyrics. There is also Church of God In Christ [COGIC] style piano backing especially in the ending of the song.

07 Mar 07 - 08:22 AM (#1989344) Subject: RE: Lyr Add: LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE ON ME From: Azizi Here's a short YouTube link to the video of an uptempo gospel song whose title is also "Shine On Me". This song was written by Andrae Crouch and performed by Vanessa Bell Armstrong and the Christ Memorial COGIC Choir of Pacoima, California. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlcqKy259qM This was the theme song for the 1986-1991 television sitcom Amen which starred Shermen Hemsley of "The Jeffersons" fame. Hemsley portrayed Deacon Frye, of the First Community Church of Philadelphia. My transcription of the chorus is: Turn on the light from heaven, Lord and shine on me. Turn on the light from heaven, Lord Shine on me [2x] Turn on the light from heaven lord and shine on me. -snip- The first verse of that song sounds like: Turn on the light and help me find my way Lord Turn on the light and put me on the right road Chorus |
