Talking To Jesus (feat. Maverick City Music & Brandon Lake)

	  		
B  
Grandma used to pray out loud 

By her bed every night 

To me it sounded like mumblin' 

Like she was out of her mind 
B/D# 
She said: Boy, this kind of prayin' 
B 
Is what saved my life 
B/D# 
You oughta try it some time 
B 
And now I know she was right 
        E          B 
She was talkin' to Jesus 
        B/E 
She was talkin' to Jesus 
               E          B 
And she'd been talkin' to Jesus 
    G#m       B 
For all of her life 
E B                              E 
  Mama used to drag me to church 
B                                     E 
  Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights 
B                              E 
  Khaki pants and a polo shirt 
B                       E 
  Boy, I put up a fight 
B                                        E 
  She said: Son, one day, you'll thank me 
B                            E  
  For having God in your life 
B                                E 
  And yeah, I know she was right 
B                   
  Yeah, my mama was right 
               E          B 
'Cause now I'm talkin' to Jesus 
           E          B 
She got me talkin' to Jesus

What a friend we have in Jesus 
E                B 
What a friend we have in Jesus (don't you know?) 
E                B                    C#m B 
What a friend we have in Jesus, oh-oh-oh, oh 

What a friend we have! 
E                B 
What a friend we have in Jesus 
E                B 
What a friend we have in Jesus 
E                B                    C#m B 
What a friend we have in Jesus, oh-oh-oh, oh 
          E          B 
I've got three of my own now 
          E             B 
Tryin' to raise them up right 
   E         B 
My oldest is fifteen 
                      E       B 
And I remember what that was like 
          E             B 
Tryin' to deal with the drama 
                         E         B 
Tryin' to figure out the questions in life 
              E             B 
And I've been lookin' for a way to show him 
       E       B   
How to make it alright 
        E            B 
Then he walked in my room 
                      E                 B 
While I was sayin' my prayers the other night 
              E         B 
He said: I'll come back later 
                     E           B 
I can tell you got a lot on your mind 
             E           B 
I said: It's not an interruption 
                  E               B 
You couldn't have picked a better time 
                  E          B 
'Cause I was just talkin' to Jesus 
              E         B 
Come over and give it a try 
           E        B 
We started talkin' to Jesus 
           E        B  
We started talkin' to Jesus 
           E        B              C#m  B 
We started talkin' to Jesus, oh-oh-oh, oh 
             E          B 
And now he's talkin' to Jesus 
                E          B 
Thank God, he's talkin' to Jesus 
            E          B 
I hope he's talkin' to Jesus 
          C#m   B             
For the rest of his life, yeah

There's no wrong way to do it 
           E           B 
There's no bad time to start 
     E               B 
It don't have to sound pretty 
                     E       B 
Just tell Him what's on your heart 
            E        B 
'Cause it's not a religion, no 
             E          B 
'Cause it's more like a friendship 
        E            B    
So just talk to your Father 
     E           B 
Like you are His kid 
           E          B              
Just start talkin' to Jesus 
           E          B 
Just start talkin' to Jesus 
               E       B 
'Cause you can talk to Jesus 
       E         B 
Oh, whenever you like 
           E          B 
Just start talkin' to Jesus 
           E          B
