I Had A Little Talk With The Lord
Lyric by Mann Curtis, music by Vic Mizzy
Published 1944

Dusk was falling on the Pacific,
All was strangely still,
In the silence before the battle,
In a foxhole in Bougainville.
Faces were tense and waiting
Till a boy brought new hope their way
And fearlessly told his buddies
As they knelt to God to pray:

[chorus]
I Had a Little Talk With The Lord,
I Had a Little Talk With The Lord,
There on a battle weary is the land
I Had a Little Talk With The Lord,
I begged the Lord to send down some rain
To give me strength to stand up again;
Right there my heart began to smile
and I Had a Little Talk With The Lord.
And the Lord spoke
And the clouds broke
And the thunder crashed around
And I knew the Lord had blessed me
For the rain came tumbling down.
So have a little talk with the Lord,
Have faith and you will share his reward,
For I found the strength to fight for my land
When I Had a Little Talk With The Lord,
I Had a Little Talk With The Lord.
