I used to talk to my kids about Jesus
The same way that my mom and daddy did
I used to talk to my kids about Jesus
Now I talk to Jesus ’bout my kids
When they’re born, you dive right in
Trying like hell to get ’em born again
Pull out them Bible stories, then you stumble your way through
You do your best to steer ’em straight
Tell ’em ’bout who He is and ain’t
And answer all their questions even though you’ve got some too
I used to talk to my kids about Jesus
How He lived and died and rose again
I used to talk to my kids about Jesus
Now I talk to Jesus ’bout my kids
You lose your grip the more they grow
They won’t listen ’cause they think they know
And you watch ’em going down a dead-end road, and you can’t stop ’em
Lord, please watch ’em
I used to talk to my kids about Jesus
Pray they’d find Him sooner than I did
I used to talk to my kids about Jesus
Now I talk to Jesus ’bout my kids
Guide ’em as they go
‘Cause if anyone does, You know
Along the straight and narrow
All the places they could fall
I used to talk to my kids about Jesus
He knew and loved ’em long before I did
I used to talk to my kids about Jesus
Now I talk to Jesus ’bout my kids
I used to talk to my kids about Jesus
Now I talk to Jesus ’bout my kids
