Talking To Jesus lyrics

Grandma used to pray out loud

By her bed every night

To me it sounded like mumbling

Like she was out of her mind

She said boy this kind of praying is what saved my life

You oughta try it some time

Now I know she was right

She was talking to Jesus

She was talking to Jesus

She’d been talking to Jesus for all of her life

Mama used to drag me to church

Sunday morning 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 talking to Jesus

She got me talking to Jesus

She got me talking to Jesus

Yeah my mama was right

Cause now I’m talking to Jesus

Yeah I love talking to Jesus

And I’ll be talking to Jesus

For the rest of my life

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 3 of my own now

Trying to raise them up right

My oldest is 15 and I remember what that was like

Trying to deal with the drama, trying to figure out the questions in life

I’ve been looking for a way to show him how to make it alright

Then he walked in my room while I was saying 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 talking to Jesus, come over and give it a try

We started talking to Jesus

We started talking to Jesus

We started talking to Jesus

Oh

And now he’s talking to Jesus

Thank God he’s talking to Jesus

I hope he’s talking to Jesus

For the rest of his life

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

It’s more like a friendship

Just talk to your Father

Like you are his kid

Just start talking to Jesus

Just start talking to Jesus

You can talk to Jesus

Whenever you like

Just start talking to Jesus

Just start talking to Jesus

Just keep talking to Jesus

For the rest of your life
