Dolly Parton and Natalie Grant Sing ‘Just A Little Talk with Jesus’
Two award-winning musicians took the stage and surprised the audience at a popular theme park in Tennessee with a beautiful duet about the power and promises of Christ.
Dolly Parton is a beloved Hollywood icon who can do it all. She has starred in several hit films and produced dozens of memorable songs throughout her illustrious career. Now in her 70s, Dolly has shown no signs of slowing down.
As the video posted to YouTube shows, Dolly joined forces and teamed up with fellow musician Natalie Grant. It’s clear Dolly’s appearance was completely unexpected but very welcomed. The crowd goes wild when the “Jolene” singer takes the stage at Dollywood.
After a few warm pleasantries between the two singers, Dolly and Natalie treat the audience to a rendition of “Just a Little Talk with Jesus.” Natalie, after some light prodding from Dolly, kicks off the song, taking the first verse.
The song’s opening lyrics mention that, while lost in sin, Jesus Christ displayed His abundant love, mercy, and grace. Christ, after cleansing her heart, “wrote my name above,” and it was “just a little talk with Jesus” that made all the difference, Natalie sings.
Dolly then joins Natalie for the catchy and truth-filled chorus about relying upon the power, love, and faithfulness of Jesus Christ.
“Let us tell Him all about our troubles
He will hear our faintest cry
And He will answer by and by”
What powerful words, which are an excellent reminder that Christ cares about whatever obstacle that stands in our way. He wants us to bring those worries and requests to Him and lay them at His feet. He, as the song’s chorus mentions, will answer those prayer requests in time.
Dolly takes the song’s next verse, which points out that despite our fears and tears, Christ is a trusted friend and savior that will never leave or forsake us. He is an ally who keeps a constant watch, day and night. Christ, the verse adds, knows our every care.
Natalie and Dolly have a wonderful time entertaining the crowd at the Pigeon Forge, Tennessee park!
What an excellent performance by two terrific singers! Also, what a special treat for those parkgoers who just happened to be in the park that day.
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14).
