Just a Little Talk With Jesus

I was listening to an old recording of my three Uncles and Grandpa singing the song Just a little Talk With Jesus. As I sang along I decided to Google the lyrics to make things easier. I found it nearly impossible to find the lyrics to this song as my family traditionally sang it, so I decided to transcribe it here. Enjoy. I have also included the track I used below.

I once was lost in sin, but Jesus took me in.
And then a little light from heaven filled my soul.
It filled my soul with love, and wrote my name above.
And just a little talk with Jesus made me whole.

Now Let us have a little talk with Jesus.
And we’ll Him all about our troubles.
He will hear your faintest cry.
And He will answer by and by.
And 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.

Some times my way is drear, without a rain of cheer.
And just a little cloud of dark creeps or’ the day.
The mist of sin may rise, and hide the sunlit skies.
But just a little talk with Jesus makes me whole.

Chorus

I may have doubts and fears, my eyes will 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 made me whole.

Chorus

300 Consecutive Sellouts

When Nebraska hosts Louisiana-Lafayette on Sept. 26, 2009, a wonderful moment in Husker football history will be celebrated. Memorial Stadium, home to the Cornhuskers since 1923, will celebrate an unprecedented and NCAA-record 300 consecutive sellouts with the third sellout of the 2009 season. The Louisiana-Lafayette game will begin at 6 p.m. and will be available to the public via pay per view through Fox Sports Net.

As part of the 300th straight sellout celebration, the 2009 Huskers will wear uniforms designed by adidas to match those worn by Nebraska in 1962. The uniforms (numbers 1 through 99) will be auctioned to the public as full sets, including pants, jersey and helmet, on Huskers.com this fall. The auction will begin in conjunction with the first week of fall football practice and end the week of Oct. 4. Minimum bids for each set will be $500. Replica jerseys and helmets will also be available for sale through Huskers Authentic.

In addition, all Husker letterwinners and staff who were a part of the 1962 team have been invited to return to the site of the nation’s longest sellout streak for this occasion. The 1962 team will be a part of Homecoming festivities and will be honored on game day.

Getting Reckless

Went to a great concert down at Gruene Hall on Friday night. Reckless Kelly puts on a fantastic show. Had a little food, a little drink, and a lot of good music. Definitely worth seeing again.
