LYRICS:
I only talk to God when I need a favor
and I only pray when I ain't got a prayer
So who the hell am I, who the hell am I to expect a savior (Oh oh)
if I only talk to God when I need a favor
God I need a favor

I know amazing grace, but I ain't been livin them words
Swear I spend most Sundays drunk off my ass than I have at church
Hard cover King James been only saving dust on the nightstand
And I don’t know what to say by the time I fold my hands

I only talk to God when I need a favor
and I only pray when I ain't got a prayer
So who the hell am I, who the hell am I to expect a savior (Oh oh)
if I only talk to God when I need a favor
God I need a favor

Amen…Amen

I owe you more than one, and beggars can't be choosers
But I'll pay for all I’ve done just please don't let me lose her

I only talk to God when I need a favor
and I only pray when I ain't got a prayer
So who the hell am I, who the hell am I to expect a savior (Oh oh)
if I only talk to God when I need a favor
God I need a favor

Amen…Amen…Amen…Amen

Hanging in there, just barely
throwin’ up prayers, like hail mary's
If he's still there, lord spare me
Oh my God, oh my God – hail mary

Hanging in there, just barely
throwin’ up prayers, like hail mary's
If he's still there, lord spare me
Oh my God, oh my God – hail mary

I only talk to God when I need a favor
and I only pray when I ain't got a prayer
So tell me who the hell am I, to expect a savior
when I only talk to God when I need a favor
God I need a favor

Amen
God I need a favor (whoa oh)
Amen

This dude has really helped me the past week been a week sober, no heroin no Suboxone. Sober listened to his shit all week I'm a big boy too and I'm from Tennessee. He's the man

My oldest son introduced me to Jelly Roll a few years ago after he got himself clean. He told me that Jellys lyrics gave him hope and direction. Right now I am needing some hope and direction to get back to Christ and this song makes so much sense.

[amandaaggar]

This song from a parent’s perspective… its deep. I’ve lost a daughter and this song just speaks so differently for me. Thank you 💙💛🦋

[gabrielgard]

That's the beauty of it. Even if it's once a week, once a month, once every 6 months, even once a year, God still picks up the phone and listens.

I am 68 and survived approximately 3years of arsenic poisoning by my husband with God's grace I survived him. This song has touched me in so many ways I just want to thank Jelly Roll .

[MofoMatchez]

DAMN IT YOU HOOKED ME IF THIS SONG DONT GIVE YOU GOOSEBUMPS, YOU DONT KNOW WHAT GOOD SOUL TOUCHING MUSIC IS.

1:54 Wow! I am going through some trauma and hard times. I cannot stop listening to this song. I play it loud and proud and sing at the top of my lungs. Many many times in a row. I’m a die hard fan now. This song speaks to me. ❤

[deborahgasparovich]

I am a 63 year old woman that has absolutely fallen in love with your music💗 Save Me touched my soul I identified with so much of it. Now this one is once again so about my life. I didn't really even realize I was doing that to God but I am definitely doing more favor asking then thank you's. Hopefully I can change that now that you have opened my eyes and heart . Thank you😘

[brandonseiter]

Lost my mom Friday. This song is helping right now. 😢😢

[jamesvinson]

Seen Jelly last night in Nashville. If you have not seen him in concert definitely missing out. Amazing show will definitely see him again. Last part of the show when he brought Shinedown out to do "Simple Man" was freaking awesome and the duet with his 14 year old daughter brought tears to the eyes of show Jelly

[ilylas]

It's so easy to forget the man upstairs when things are going good but he's always with us through the good and the bad... just like Jellys music💗🖤💗

[MattrickFrost]

Jelly Roll can't make a bad song. I feel this in my soul 🙏🏻🙏🏻💯💯

[TACMAN]

It's about time somebody actually did a kind of song like this again it's been a while since somebody heard this kind of music in a way that needs to be done thank you

[Randi]

I'm not even religious, but I find comfort in this song.

[christians_ordinarylife]

I pray to God, my soul to keep.
I pray to the Lord, my life his His to lead.
I pray to God, for I am His sheep.
I pray to the Lord, for He is there whenever I need. Amen 🙏

[Viciousmuffin]

I needed this from you this week!!! Just lost my angel of a grandmother, she was such a force in my life. It has left us so broken and lost, so thank you! This fills my soul ❤️ exactly what I needed!

[aaronhopper]

Jelly, man I spent many nights in the children’s hospital with my daughter listening to your music. You are an amazing man and artist. Your music was just what I needed then and continues to be now. She passed away recently after a year and a half fight with leuchemia. You sing about your father also fighting. I hope he is doing well. Keep doing Gods work and don’t let the bright lights lead you back toward the wide path my brother. I keep you in my prayers. Thank you.

[redzgirl]

I feel privileged to have been there last night at Bridgestone for the very first time this was performed, in front of 15 THOUSAND DEDICATED JELLY ROLL This song is an absolute fucking Thank you Jelly, it was a fucking epic, amazing night, and what a special show to be our little girl's first show ever. She's 10 years old and she loves you. We are SO PROUD of you Bubba, it feels like WE"RE WINNING TOO to see you make it. Love you ...

[wendycarroll-jbjp]

We should talk to him and thank him daily, this song hits home for many. He isn't just for hard times, he's there always !!

[nickabbatiello]

My mom introduced me to this song by Jelly Roll last year and I'm still loving this song.
