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

           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

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
Just start talkin' to Jesus
