Talk To Jehovah

[Verse 1]
They lowered both my brothers in the ground
Same year
Same town
Two chairs at my table
Sitting empty now
I reach for my phone
Then I remember
Ain’t nobody on the other side
So I carry all these stories
Locked up inside
[Chorus]
So I talk to Jehovah
Like I talked to them
Tell Him all my secrets
Like my closest friends
When the whole world’s quiet
And the hurt won’t end
I talk to Jehovah
And I start to mend
[Verse 2]
We used to laugh so loud we shook the walls
Now it’s my echo down the hall
I drive past their mamas’ houses
Can’t bring myself to call
I got questions I can’t ask nobody
So I lay them at Your feet
You the only One who knows me
Down to every beat
[Chorus]
So I talk to Jehovah
Like I talked to them
Tell Him all my secrets
Like my closest friends
When the whole world’s quiet
And the hurt won’t end
I talk to Jehovah
And I start to mend
[Bridge]
I say
“Father
I’m so lonely”
(yeah) “Feels like I can’t breathe”
Then Your peace comes slowly
Like air back in my chest to me
If I lost every person
Still I’d raise my hands
‘Cause You stayed by my side
When nobody else can
[Chorus]
So I talk to Jehovah
Like I talked to them
Tell Him all my secrets
Like my closest friends
When the nights get heavy
And my heart won’t bend
I talk to Jehovah
And I trust again
[Outro]
You took my broken mourning
Turned it into praise
I ain’t walking here deserted
You been here all my days
If I got no one to listen
You still take my call
I talk to Jehovah
You’re my All in all
