Talking To Jesus (Live from The Ryman)

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?
