Just a Little Talk with Jesus

 

Intro               (1st and last lines of a verse)

 

Verse 1          I once was lost in sin, but Jesus took me in,
And then a little light from heaven filled my soul;
It bathed my heart in love, and wrote my name above,
And just a little talk with my Jesus made me whole.

 

Refrain          (Now let us) have a little talk with Jesus,
(Let us) tell him all about our troubles,
(He will) hear our faintest cry
(And He’ll) answer by and by;
(Now when you) feel a little prayer wheel turnin’,
(And you) know a little fire is burnin’
(You’ll) find a little talk with Jesus makes it right.

 

Verse 2          Sometimes my path seems drear, without a ray of cheer,

And then a cloud of doubt may hide the light of day;

The mist of sin may rise and hide the starry skies,

But just a little talk with Jesus clears the way.

 

Refrain

 

Verse 3          I may have doubts and fears, my eyes be filled with tears,
But Jesus is a friend who watches day and night

I go to Him in prayer, He knows my every care,
But just a little talk with Jesus makes it right.

 

Refrain

 

Special          It’s alright (it’s alright.)  It’s alright (it’s alright.)

It’s alright (it’s alright.)  It’s alright (it’s alright.)

                        Just a little talk with Jesus makes it right.

                        (well,) it’s alright (it’s alright.)  It’s alright (it’s alright.)

It’s alright (it’s alright.)  It’s alright (it’s alright.)

                        Just a little talk with Jesus makes it right.   (END)
