This arrangement of “This Little Light of Mine” potentially incorporates sacred readings and vocal percussion.

  1. There are options for the repeated measures 2-5.
      1. Solo spoken text

        “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16


      2. Solo dramatic recitation:

        If we assume it’s true that we’ve been given light
        That can brighten even the darkest of nights
        Then it would be an unfathomable shame
        To diminish our light or cover our flame.

        So maybe it’s time to step up and stand tall
        And project our light to any and all.
        When the glow of your light unites with mine
        Darkness falls, so let it Shine!


      3. No spoken text. Repeat only once.
      4. Spoken Word version:
      1. If we assume it’s true that we’ve been given light
        That can brighten even the darkest of nights
        Then it would be an unfathomable shame
        To diminish our light or cover our flame.
        So maybe it’s time to step up and stand tall
        And project our light to any and all.
        When the glow of your light unites with mine
        Darkness falls, so let it Shine!


  2. The vocal percussion line can be omitted; however, do not be intimidated. SBN, (standard beatbox notation) is pretty obvious and easy to research online. Wonderful tutorials, i.e. Basic Sounds of Beatbox, offer guidance. Someone who is confident in vocal percussion is encouraged to improvise. A simple line is offered as a rhythmic foundation for the arrangement.

In the opening welcome and introduction to this website, I shared the Scripture that inspired this online adventure, I Tim 6:20. This text is also the origination of the name; “Sacred Chatter.” However, my intent is not to be a singular voice. I invite your voice to be a part of the “chat” and I base this on another of my favorite Scriptures: Hebrews 10:24. “And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds.” I am considering how I can provoke love and good deeds in places beyond where I live. This is my attempt to enter into a Hebrews 10 conversation with you over social media.digitally. Now, I am interested in your feedback. Consider what provoking you can provide with your own Sacred Chatter.

What’s important to you? What really matters?

Add your voice in Sacred Chatter.

Love is ours to provoke. Good deeds are ours to sew.

That the wisdom of Hebrews 10 may flourish and grow.

Email, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, they’re potential mediums for the Hebrews 10 plan.
