[Brandon Lake:]
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
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
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 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
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
Just talking, 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
What a friend we have in Jesus
What a friend we have in Jesus
What a friend we have in Jesus, oh
Groan too much for words
Just let it out, let it out
Let it out right now
Let it out, let it out
Let it out right now
Let it out, let it out
Let it out
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 in Jesus
What a friend we have in Jesus
What a friend we have in Jesus, oh
What a friend we have in Jesus
What a friend we have in Jesus
What a friend we have in Jesus, oh
