Have a Little Talk With Jesus

Brenda Lee · Gospel Duets with Treasured Friends [Provident Spe [2007]

(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 it wrote my name above

And just a little talk with my Jesus made me whole.



Have a little talk with Jesus

Tell him all about our troubles

Hear our fainted cry, answer by and by

Feel a little prayer wheel turning

Know a little fire is burning

Find a little talk with Jesus makes it right.



Sometimes my path grows drear

Without a ray of cheer

And then a cloud of doubt may hide the day

The mists of sin may rise

And hide the starry skies

But just a little talk with Jesus clears the way.



Have a little talk with Jesus

Tell him all about our troubles

Hear our fainted cry, answer by and by

Feel a little prayer wheel turning

Know a little fire is burning

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 every care

And just a little talk with my Jesus makes it right.



Have a little talk with Jesus

Tell him all about our troubles

Hear our fainted cry, answer by and by

Feel a little prayer wheel turning

Know a little fire is burning

Find a little talk with Jesus makes it right.



Find a little talk with Jesus makes it right...
