BGrandma 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"
And now I know she was right
E B
She was talking to Jesus
E B
She was talking to Jesus
E B
She’d been talking to Jesus
G♯ B
For all of her life
BMama 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
E B
'Cause now I’m talking to Jesus
E B
She got me talking to Jesus
E B
She got me talking to Jesus
E B
Yeah, my mama was right
E B
'Cause now I’m talking to Jesus
E B
Yeah, I love talking to Jesus
E B
And I'll be talking to Jesus
E B
For the rest of my life
E B
What a friend we have in Jesus
E B
What a friend we have in Jesus
E B
What a friend we have in Jesus
E B
Oh woah, oh
BI've got three of my own now
Trying to raise them up right
My oldest is fifteen
And I remember what that was like
Trying to deal with the drama
Trying to 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"
BThere’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, come on
So just talk to your Father
Like you are His kid
