#3511 Once Was Lost In Sin

(Just A Little Talk With Jesus)

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.

(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 will) — answer by and by,

(Now when you) — feel a little prayer wheel turning,

(And you) — 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.

(Refrain)

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 Jesus makes it right.

(Refrain)

From all that dwell below the skies, Let the Creator's praise arise;

Let the Redeemer's name be sung, Through every land by every tongue.

THE SUMMARY OF THE DECALOGUE

Hear what Christ our Saviour saith, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with ail thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
