Talking To Jesus

Songwriters: Chris Brown / Steven Furtick / 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 praying

Is what saved my life

You oughta try it some time"

And now I know she was right

She was talking to Jesus

She was talking to Jesus

And she'd been talking 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 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 (don't you know?)

What a friend we have in Jesus

Oh-oh-oh, 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-oh-oh, oh

I've got three of my own now

Tryna raise them up right

My oldest is 15

And I remember what that was like

Tryna deal with the drama

Tryna figure out the questions in life

And 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-oh-oh, 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, yeah

What a friend we have in Jesus

What a friend we have in Jesus

What a friend we have in Jesus

Oh-oh-oh, 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-oh-oh, 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 talking to Jesus

Just start talking to Jesus

'Cause you can talk to Jesus

Oh, whenever you like

Just start talking to Jesus

Just start talking to Jesus

Just keep talking 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-oh-oh, 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-oh-oh, oh

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh

Oh-oh

Just let it out, let it out, let it out right now (oh-oh)

Let it out, let it out, let it out, let it out right now (oh-oh)

Let it out, let it out, let it out (oh-oh-oh, oh)

What a friend we have in Jesus

What a friend we have in Jesus

What a friend we have in Jesus
