Lyrics: Cleavant Derricks (b. 1937)
Music: JUST A LITTLE TALK, 66 12 66 12 with refrain; Cleavant Derricks

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 t'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)
