Lyrics:
Grannie used to pray out loud
By her bed nightly
To me it sounded like mumbling
Like she was out of her mind
She stated kid this sort of praying is what saved my life
You oughta try it some time
Now I know she was right
She was speaking to Jesus
She was speaking to Jesus
She’d been speaking to Jesus for all of her life
Mama used to drag me to church
Sunday morning and Wednesday nights
Khaki trousers and a polo shirt
Boy I put up a struggle
She stated, son, one day you will thank me for having God in your life
And yeah I know she was right
Yeah my mama was right
Cause now I’m speaking to Jesus
She got me speaking to Jesus
She got me speaking to Jesus
Yeah my mama was right
Cause now I’m speaking to Jesus
Yeah I love speaking to Jesus
And I’ll be speaking to Jesus
For the remainder 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 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
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
