Just a Little Talk with Jesus
Words and Music by Cleavant Derricks

          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 Jesus made me whole.

            Chorus
            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 will answer by and by.
            Now when you feel a little prayer wheel turning,
            Then you’ll know a little fire is burning.
            You will find a little talk with Jesus makes it right.

          Sometimes my path seems drear, without a ray of cheer,
          And then a cloud of doubt may hide the light of day;
          The mists of sin may rise and hide the starry skies,
          But just a little talk with Jesus clears the way.

            Chorus
            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 will answer by and by.
            Now when you feel a little prayer wheel turning,
            Then you’ll know a little fire is burning.
            You will find a little talk with Jesus makes it right.

          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 ev'ry care,
          And just a little talk with Jesus makes it right.

            Chorus
            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 will answer by and by.
            Now when you feel a little prayer wheel turning,
            Then you’ll know a little fire is burning.
            You will find a little talk with Jesus makes it right.
