1. Song: This little light of mine
Verse routeMatthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. [kjv]
Verse routeουτως λαμψατω το φως υμων εμπροσθεν των ανθρωπων οπως ιδωσιν υμων τα καλα εργα και δοξασωσιν τον πατερα υμων τον εν τοις ουρανοις [gnt]

Traffic sign all lights on Traffic light
The children's and gospel song "This little light of mine", with African-American roots, was written down by Harry Dixon Loes in the early 1920's. Many verses have been added over the years.
The Greek for "shine" is that of a man-made "lamp" and not just the appearance of "light". Whose "light" do you emit? Do you pass through the (true) "light" of Jesus? Do you create your own (false) "light"?

Information sign More: Philippians 2:15 deceptive appearance of a shining light
Information sign More: Matthew 5:15: This little light of mine
Information sign More: Matthew 5:16 Let the light of Jesus shine
