A very reverent song (and proud father)
Wednesday, May 2nd, 2012“Let my light shine”
By Chris Ingram
Late last year, my daughter Casey (who just turned eight-years-old in April) wrote a song called “Let my light shine.” Casey wrote the song which professes her view of God and expresses the generally optimistic nature all children have.
Casey wrote the song — without prompting — in the back seat of the car on her way to gymnastics practice. She wrote it in less than ten minutes in a small notebook. She began singing the song and shared the lyrics she had written with me; I encouraged her to share it with her music teacher Ms. Belinda Womack at Cambridge Christian School in Tampa, which she did.
Ms. Womack liked the lyrics so much she worked with Ms. Hannah Rose to set the lyrics to a score and arrange the song. It’s a catchy and optimistic tune from a child’s perspective — even if you’re not particularly religious.
