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
Now I know she was right
Pre-Chorus
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
Verse 2
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
Chorus
What a friend we have in Jesus
What a friend we have in Jesus
What a friend we have in Jesus
Oh
Verse 3
I'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
I’ve been looking for a way to show him
How to make it alright
Verse 4
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
Verse 5
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
