Talking To Jesus (Live from The Ryman)
Lyrics
Grandma used to pray out loud
By her bed every night
To me, it sounded like mumbling
Like she was out of mind
She said, "Boy, this kind of prayin'
Is what saved my life
You outta try it some time"
And now I know she was right
She was talkin' to Jesus
She was talkin' to Jesus
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
Y'all know I put up a fight
She said, "Son, one day you'll thank me
For havin' God in your life"
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 (come on y'all)
'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
What a friend we have in Jesus
Oh
I've got three of my own now
Tryna raise them up right
My oldest is 15, huh
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, yeah
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've got a lot on your mind"
I said, "It's not an interruption, no, no
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, yeah
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 (c'mon)
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
What a friend we have in Jesus
Oh
There's no wrong way to do it
Ain't a bad place to start
It ain't gotta sound pretty
Just tell Him what's on your heart
'Cause it's not a religion, no-no-no
No, 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
Whenever you like
Just start talkin' to Jesus
Just start talkin' to Jesus
Just keep talkin' to Jesus
For the rest of your life
Now we're sittin' at the Ryman
On an ordinary Sunday night
These past few weeks have been heavy
Been hard to put on this smile
And I know that life feels crazy
But the darker day, the brighter the light
So just keep talkin' to Jesus
The only way, the truth, and the light
What a friend we have in Jesus
What a friend we have in Jesus
What a friend we have in Jesus
Oh, yeah, 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
One more time, just the voices tonight
What a friend we have in Jesus
What a friend we have in Jesus
What a friend we have in Jesus
Oh
Amen, amen, could you help me?
