Words & Music: Clevant Derricks

I once was lost in sin but Jesus took me in
Well then a little light from heaven healed my soul
Well, he bathed my heart in love, and wrote my name above
Well just a little talk with my Jesus gonna it right

We'll just have a little talk with Jesus
We're gonna tell Him all about our troubles
He will hear our fainted cry
He will answer by and by
Oh well, when you feel a little prayer wheel turning
And you will know a little fire is burnin'
You will find a little talk with Jesus makes it right

You may have doubts and fears
Your eye be filled with tears
Oh well my Jesus is a friend who watches day and night
Well he wrote my name above, and he bathed my heart in love
Oh well just a little talk with my Jesus gonna make it right

Let us have a little talk with my Jesus
Please let us tell Him all about our troubles
He will hear our faintest cry
He will answer by and by
Now when you feel a little prayer wheel turning
You'll know just a little fire is burnin'
And have a little talk with my Jesus gonna makes it right

Well you may have doubts and fears
Your eye be filled with tears
Oh well now my Jesus is a friend who watches day and night
Well you go to Him in prayer
He answers my every prayer
Oh well just a little talk with my Jesus gonna makes it right
Now let us have a little talk with my Jesus
Tell Him all about our troubles
He will hear our faintest cry
And I know he's gonna answer by and by
Now when you feel a little prayer wheel turning
You'll know a little fire is burnin'
And have a little talk with my J

Jerry Lee is trying to outsing Elvis, but don't succeed. A great rocking gospel.

If I would be a christian I would surely prefer the rockin' Elvis singing gospel

All during the "Million dollar Quartet session", I feel that Jerry lee Lewis, is trying to out sing Elvis, but he is no match for Elvis. Our guy Elvis, is the main attraction and outshines them all.

Never been a fan of these sessions whether it was a Quartet or Trio in actuality but this track is right up near the top of the output, with Elvis sounding a bit like Hank Williams around the first minute. I reckon this song could possibly be cleaned up and made into a near professional remix recording.
