Elevation Worship & Maverick - Talking to Jesus Lyrics

Grandma use 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 outta try it some time

And 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 use 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


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

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


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

Cause 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 talk, 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...


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...
