James Cleveland
I Had A Talk With God
[Spoken Intro]
I remember being seven years old
Baptized at Cornerstone Baptist Church
Dr. Sandy F. Ray was pastor
And every Sunday morning, the choir would sing
And after they would finish, he'd call me
And he'd say, "Cookie, I want you to sing"
And I say

[Verse 1]
I had a talk with God last night
I cried Oh Lord please make things alright, oh yes
He said He'd all my battles fight, yes He did

[Chorus]
(I had a talk with God last night)

[Verse 2]
I called Him, I called Him to guide, guide me right, oh
Let me find peace and a better, better life, oh yeah
He said He'll make everything alright

[Chorus]
I had a heart to heart talk with God last night
My Lord, yeah yeah
I wonder can you hear me
[Verse 3]
I cried Oh Lord my way, my way, my my my way is dark
I need Your light down, down, down in my heart
Oh my Lord, sweet Jesus
He said I'm God all by myself
Help me sing, help me sing it
If you trust me, Lord, I don't need no one else
I said Thank God, thank you Jesus, for now I'm free
Yes I am, thank you, Lord
I thank you, I thank you for giving me victories
Whenever I need Him, He's so good to me

[Outro]
I had a heart to heart
I had a heart to heart
I had a heart to heart talk
I had a heart to heart talk
I had a heart to heart talk with God last night
Thank you, Jesus, yes
Hallelujah, thank you, Jesus
