Grandma used to pray out loud
By her bed every night
To me it sounded like mumblin'
Like she was out of her mind
Grandma used to pray out loud
By her bed every night
To me it sounded like mumblin'
Like she was out of her mind
She said, "Boy, this kind of prayin'
Is what saved my life
You oughta try it some time"
And now I know she was right
[Chorus]
She was talkin' to Jesus
She was talkin' to Jesus
And she'd been talkin' to Jesus
For all of her life
[Verse 2]
Mama used 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]
Cause now I'm talkin' to Jesus
She got me talkin' to Jesus
She got me talkin' to Jesus
Yeah, my mama was right
Cause now I'm talkin' to Jesus
Yeah, I love talkin' to Jesus
And I'll be talkin' to Jesus
For the rest of my life
[Bridge]
What a friend we have in Jesus
What a friend we have in Jesus (Don't you know?)
What a friend we have in Jesus, oh
What a friend we have
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
Tryin' to raise them up right
My oldest is fifteen
And I remember what that was like
Tryin' to deal with the drama
Tryin' to figure out the questions in life
And I've been lookin' for a way to show him
How to make it alright
Then he walked in my room
While I was sayin' 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 talkin' to Jesus
Come over and give it a try"
[Chorus]
We started talkin' to Jesus
We started talkin' to Jesus
We started talkin' to Jesus, oh
And now he's talkin' to Jesus
Thank God, he's talkin' to Jesus
I hope he's talkin' to Jesus
For the rest of his life, yeah
[Bridge]
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
What a friend we have in Jesus (Aren't you glad you have a friend?)
What a friend we have in Jesus (None more faithful, none more true)
What a friend we have in Jesus, oh
[Verse 4]
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, no
Cause it's more like a friendship
So just talk to your Father
Like you are His kid
[Chorus]
Just start talkin' to Jesus
Just start talkin' to Jesus
Cause you can talk to Jesus
Oh, whenever you like
Just start talkin' to Jesus
Just start talkin' to Jesus
Just keep talkin' to Jesus
For the rest of your life
[Interlude]
Oh, just talk
Oh
Just talk, just talk, just talk to Jesus
[Bridge]
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
What a friend we have in Jesus
What a friend we have in Jesus (So faithful, so true)
What a friend we have in Jesus, oh
[Interlude]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, [? 7:10]
Just let it out, let it out, let it out right now
Let it out, let it out, let it out, let it out right now
Let it out, let it out, let it out
[Outro]
What a friend we have in Jesus
What a friend we have in Jesus
What a friend we have in Jesus, oh (He's so close, He's so close)
What a friend we have in Jesus (Yeah, He's right in front of you)
What a friend we have in Jesus (Just talk to Jesus)
What a friend we have in Jesus, oh
What a friend
What a friend we have in Jesus (Just keep talkin' to Jesus)
What a friend we have in Jesus (Oh, just keep talkin' to Jesus)
What a friend we have in Jesus, oh (Just keep talkin' to Jesus)
Bedstemor plejede at bede højt
Ved hendes seng hver aften
For mig lød det som mumblin'
Ligesom hun var ude af hendes sind
Hun sagde, "Boy, denne form for prayin'
Er hvad reddede mit liv
Du oughta prøve det nogen tid"
Og nu ved jeg, at hun havde ret
[Kor]
Hun taler til Jesus
Hun taler til Jesus
Og hun havde været taler til Jesus
For hele sit liv
[Vers 2]
Mama plejede at trække mig i kirke
Søndag morgen og onsdag aften
Khaki bukser og en polo trøje
Dreng, jeg sætter op en kamp
Hun sagde, "Søn, en dag, vil du takke mig
For at have Gud i dit liv"
Og ja, jeg ved, at hun havde ret
Ja, min mor havde ret
[Kor]
Årsag nu er jeg taler til Jesus
Hun fik mig taler til Jesus
Hun fik mig taler til Jesus
Ja, min mor havde ret
Årsag nu er jeg taler til Jesus
Ja, jeg elsker taler til Jesus
Og jeg vil taler til Jesus
Resten af mit liv
[Bro]
Hvad en ven vi har i Jesus
Hvad en ven vi har i Jesus (Ved du ikke?)
Hvad en ven vi har i Jesus, åh
Hvad en ven, vi har
Hvad en ven vi har i Jesus
Hvad en ven vi har i Jesus
Hvad en ven vi har i Jesus, åh
[Vers 3]
Jeg har fået tre af min egen nu
Tryin' at hæve dem op til højre
Min ældste er femten
Og jeg kan huske, hvad der var ligesom
Tryin' at beskæftige sig med dramaet
Tryin' at finde ud af spørgsmålene i livet
Og jeg har ledt efter en måde at vise ham
Hvordan man kan gøre det i orden
Så gik han i mit værelse
Mens jeg sayin' mine bønner den anden aften
Han sagde: "Jeg kommer tilbage senere
Jeg kan fortælle dig fik en masse på dit sind"
Jeg sagde, "Det er ikke en afbrydelse
Du kunne ikke have valgt et bedre tidspunkt
Fordi jeg var bare taler til Jesus
Kom over og give det en chance"
[Kor]
Vi startede taler til Jesus
Vi startede taler til Jesus
Vi startede taler til Jesus, åh
Og nu er han taler til Jesus
Gudskelov, han taler til Jesus
Jeg håber, han taler til Jesus
For resten af sit liv, ja
[Bro]
Hvad en ven vi har i Jesus
Hvad en ven vi har i Jesus
Hvad en ven vi har i Jesus, åh
Hvad en ven, vi har
Hvad en ven vi har i Jesus (Er du ikke glad for at du har en ven?)
Hvad en ven vi har i Jesus (Ingen mere trofast, ingen mere sandt)
Hvad en ven vi har i Jesus, åh
[Vers 4]
Der er ingen forkert måde at gøre det
Der er ingen dårlig tid til at begynde
Det behøver ikke at lyde temmelig
Bare fortælle ham, hvad der er på dit hjerte
Årsag det er ikke en religion, der ikke
Årsag det er mere som et venskab
Så bare snakke med din far
Ligesom du er hans barn
[Kor]
Bare begynde taler til Jesus
Bare begynde taler til Jesus
Årsag du kan tale med Jesus
Åh, når du gerne
Bare begynde taler til Jesus
Bare begynde taler til Jesus
Bare holde taler til Jesus
For resten af dit liv
[Interlude]
Åh, bare snak
Oh
Bare snak, bare snak, bare snak til Jesus
[Bro]
Hvad en ven vi har i Jesus
Hvad en ven vi har i Jesus
Hvad en ven vi har i Jesus, åh
Hvad en ven, vi har
Hvad en ven vi har i Jesus
Hvad en ven vi har i Jesus (Så trofast, så sandt)
Hvad en ven vi har i Jesus, åh
[Interlude]
Åh, åh
Åh, åh
Åh, [? 07:10]
Bare lad det ud, lad det ud, lad det ud lige nu
Lad det ud, lad det ud, lad det ud, lad det ud lige nu
Lad det ud, lad det ud, lad det ud
[Outro]
Hvad en ven vi har i Jesus
Hvad en ven vi har i Jesus
Hvad en ven vi har i Jesus, oh (Han er så tæt, han er så tæt)
Hvad en ven vi har i Jesus (Ja, han er lige foran dig)
Hvad en ven vi har i Jesus (Bare snak til Jesus)
Hvad en ven vi har i Jesus, åh
Hvad en ven
Hvad en ven vi har i Jesus (Bare holde taler til Jesus)
Hvad en ven vi har i Jesus (Åh, bare holde taler til Jesus)
Hvad en ven vi har i Jesus, oh (Bare holde taler til Jesus)
