Lyrics
Verse 1
We could sit and chat a while
About a world that's gone half wild
So far off the rails, out in the weeds
So many people, so much hurt
Searching for something that works
Desperate for a heartbreak remedy
Chorus
But if you're asking me
I'ma talk about Jesus
He's the fire in my bones
The only hope I know
Is Him and Him alone
I'ma talk about Jesus
It's the way that things can change
There's power in His name
I'm unashamed
I'ma talk about Jesus
Verse 2
This ain't no time to compromise
I just gotta testify
Let this light shine into the dark
It ain't about no politics
It ain't the way that minds get fixed
It takes a Savior who can change a heart
Chorus
But if you're asking me
I'ma talk about Jesus
He's the fire in my bones
The only hope I know
Is Him and Him alone
I'ma talk about Jesus
It's the way that things can change
There's power in His name
I'm unashamed
I'ma talk about Jesus
Bridge
I can't hide it
Can't deny it
You want answers
I only got one
I can't hide it
Can't deny it
You want answers
I only got one
(Only got one)
Chorus
I can't hide it
Can't deny it
You want answers
I only got one
I can't hide it
Can't deny it
You want answers
I only got one

I'ma talk about Jesus
He's the fire in my bones
The only hope I know
Is Him and Him alone
I'ma talk about Jesus
It's the way that things can change
There's power in His name
I'm unashamed
I'ma talk about Jesus

Meaning & Inspiration
I'ma Talk About Jesus is a southern gospel testimony about sharing the gospel boldly. The first verse acknowledges a world gone half wild, so many people hurt and searching for a remedy for heartbreak, and the chorus answers that if asked, the singer will talk about Jesus, the fire in the bones and the only hope. The second verse says this is no time to compromise, that it is not about politics, and that it takes a Savior who can change a heart.
The bridge says the singer cannot hide or deny it and has only one answer to give those who want answers. The themes follow Romans 1:16 on not being ashamed of the gospel, Acts 4:12 on salvation in Jesus alone, 1 Peter 3:15 on being ready to give an answer, and Jeremiah 20:9. Plain and rhythmic, the song gives a congregation a simple statement of witness.
