There was a country tune something like "you can't be a beacon if your light don't shine..." Anybody know about it?

I was looking for it tonight and was surprised it wasn't here in the DT. Might as well post it.

YOU CAN'T BE A BEACON
(Martin Cooper)
Performed by Donna Fargo

You can't be a beacon if your light don't shine.
You can't be a beacon if your light don't shine.
There's a little light in all of us by God's design.
But you can't be a beacon if your light don't shine.
 
How can you ask for the truth when you do not truthful live
How can you ask forgiveness when you don't forgive
I don't mean to bring you down or speak to you unkind
But you can't be a beacon if your light don't shine.
 
You can't be a beacon if your light don't shine.
You can't be a beacon if your light don't shine.
There's a little light in all of us by God's design.
But you can't be a beacon if your light don't shine.
 
How can you ask a child to be honest and true
When he can only judge what's right by what he sees in you?
How can you offer vision yet walk around blind?
No, you can't see a beacon if its light don't shine.
 
You can't see a beacon if your light don't shine.
You can't see a beacon if your light don't shine.
There's a little light in all of us by God's design.
But you can't see a beacon if your light don't shine.
 
May God's love surround you, May you find a brighter day
May He grant you the peace you seek in every way
God's light burns in each life yours and mine
Yes, you can be a beacon if you'll let it shine
 
You can be a beacon if you'll let it shine shine.
You can be a beacon if you'll let it shine.
There's a little light in all of us by God's design.
But you can be a beacon if you'll let it shine.
