[1] I once was lost in sin but [4] Jesus took me [1] in
And then a little light from heaven filled my [5] soul
It [1] bathed my heart in love and it [4] wrote my name a-[1]-bove
And just a little talk with [5] Jesus made me [1] whole

[1] (Now let us) Have a little talk with Jesus
(Let us) Tell him all about our troubles
(He will) [5] Hear our faintest cry
(He will) [1] Answer by and by
(When you) [4] Feel a little prayer wheel turnin'
(And you) [1] Know a little fire is burnin'
(You will) Find a little talk with [5] Jesus makes it [1] right

Sometimes the path seems drear without a ray of cheer
And then the clouds of doubt may hide the light of day
The mist of sin may rise and hide the starry skies
And just a little talk with Jesus clears the way

I may have doubts and fears, my eyes may fill 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 Jesus makes it right
