Talking To Jesus (feat. Maverick City Music & Brandon Lake)

Grandma used to pray out loud

By her bed every night

To me it sounded like mumblin'

Like she was out of her mind

She said: Boy, this kind of prayin'

Is what saved my life

You oughta try it some time

And now I know she was right

She was talkin' to Jesus

She was talkin' to Jesus

And she'd been talkin' to Jesus

For all of her life

Mama used to drag me to church

Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights

Khaki pants and a polo shirt

Boy, I put up a fight

She said: Son, one day, you'll thank me

For having God in your life

And yeah, I know she was right

Yeah, my mama was right

'Cause now I'm talkin' to Jesus

She got me talkin' to Jesus

She got me talkin' to Jesus

Yeah, my mama was right

'Cause now I'm talkin' to Jesus

Yeah, I love talkin' to Jesus

And I'll be talkin' to Jesus

For the rest of my life

What a friend we have in Jesus

What a friend we have in Jesus (don't you know?)

What a friend we have in Jesus, oh

What a friend we have!

What a friend we have in Jesus

What a friend we have in Jesus

What a friend we have in Jesus, oh

I've got three of my own now

Tryin' to raise them up right

My oldest is fifteen

And I remember what that was like

Tryin' to deal with the drama

Tryin' to figure out the questions in life

And I've been lookin' for a way to show him

How to make it alright

Then he walked in my room

While I was sayin' my prayers the other night

He said: I'll come back later

I can tell you got a lot on your mind

I said: It's not an interruption

You couldn't have picked a better time

'Cause I was just talkin' to Jesus

Come over and give it a try

We started talkin' to Jesus

We started talkin' to Jesus

We started talkin' to Jesus, oh

And now he's talkin' to Jesus

Thank God, he's talkin' to Jesus

I hope he's talkin' to Jesus

For the rest of his life, yeah

What a friend we have in Jesus

What a friend we have in Jesus

What a friend we have in Jesus, oh

What a friend we have!

What a friend we have in Jesus (aren't you glad you have a friend?)

What a friend we have in Jesus (none more faithful, none more true)

What a friend we have in Jesus, oh

There's no wrong way to do it

There's no bad time to start

It don't have to sound pretty

Just tell Him what's on your heart

'Cause it's not a religion, no

'Cause it's more like a friendship

So just talk to your Father

Like you are His kid

Just start talkin' to Jesus

Just start talkin' to Jesus

'Cause you can talk to Jesus

Oh, whenever you like

Just start talkin' to Jesus

Just start talkin' to Jesus

Just keep talkin' to Jesus

For the rest of your life

Oh, just talk, oh

Just talk, just talk, just talk to Jesus

What a friend we have in Jesus

What a friend we have in Jesus

What a friend we have in Jesus, oh

What a friend we have!

What a friend we have in Jesus

What a friend we have in Jesus (so faithful, so true)

What a friend we have in Jesus, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, just talk the words

Just let it out, let it out, let it out right now

Let it out, let it out, let it out, let it out right now

Let it out, let it out, let it out

What a friend we have in Jesus

What a friend we have in Jesus

What a friend we have in Jesus, oh

(He's so close, He's so close)

What a friend we have in Jesus

(Yeah, He's right in front of you)

What a friend we have in Jesus

(Just talk to Jesus)

What a friend we have in Jesus, oh

What a friend!

What a friend we have in Jesus

(Just keep talkin' to Jesus)

What a friend we have in Jesus

(Oh, just keep talkin' to Jesus)

What a friend we have in Jesus (just keep talkin' to Jesus), oh
