This is so sorely needed at this time--all our “little lights” need to shine-we are ALL God’s children !

[@jacksparrow1057]

No we are not all God's children MANY MANY MANY are Lucifer's children. Children of darkness

[@meditate50]

I skipped through many versions of this song, and when I heard it from Ms. ODETTA the tears were welling up, what a beautiful voice and spirit.

[@meditate50]

She is a treasure 😊

[@garyschneider8829]

She's Amazing ; I just wish Janis would have been around longer and to sing Duet with Odetta.

This should be taught to each toddler, if I ruled the world! Each person designed to SHINE!

[@ChrissyRees]

You sure do! ....as do I and will get better! Beautiful voices coming from such adversity and echoing from heaven! I'm surprised the whole world doesn't see the majesty of God and that we are one and brothers and sisters before His throne. Adjay s granddaughter, Chrissy Comey, Exupery

[@elizabetholiviaclark]

Gotta love Odetta. She's part of the American fabric, and her music can be of great help now. People who want to protest should sing these songs everywhere, and in every public square.

[@wandabrothers2354]

Thank you Ms Odetta for that amazing version of “This Little Light of Mine”!

[@jewals-healingrose222]

Beautiful 💚 ...keep shining, don't let them hide you. Get out and SHINE without fear, but standing in the sovereignty that was given to you. 💚

I thought I was going to skip this because I've been skipping through young people sing it. But when I heard her sing I couldn't skip. It's like listening to something familiar that sounds home like. If I explained it good lol

I feel you . Need more of this

[@javiergarcia9739]

Oh, My Good Lord! I have only heard this song with Tina Turner, as a little girl on What's Love Got to do with it and loved it. But this version is beyond precious this lady's voice has me on tears! Specially right now.

[@spiritfilled1909]

This song was stuck in my head this evening. I found another version and something was missing. Then I found this. Perfection.

[@matttalsma721]

All our of little inner lights synergistically combined can truly change the world

[@melvinmitchell9695]

Please remember two great women when you listen to this - Fannie Lou Hamer who led the voting rights movement and who uses this song as the title to her autobiography, and Odetta - one of the great inspirational vocalists of her generation.

[@BruceWayne-fs8ty]

Odetta Holmes (December 31, 1930 - December 2, 2008). Rest in peace Odetta! May your light continue to shine on the world!

[@angevdw2887]

Wow, just wow. I have never heard of this lady but I'm glad this was recommended for me. What a voice!

[@taz-on-the-looseyusef5526]

This kind of voice reminds me that there is Jesus and he guides us back to him by choosing right songs which belongs to his kingdom, there are gospel music which never stirs me a bit, no matter what especially commercial gospel

Such a well done amazing video you created, I posted it today in honor of Odetta a icon whom I have loved my whole life. Today on MLK day I post your creation, it is a delectable repast for the soul. It honors Dr. King and this amazing woman today let us honor them and all who sacrificed their lives for civil rights. Thank you Adam !!!!!!! I love this! Blessing to you.
