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

    I’m battling addiction and as of today I’m 9 days off my poison. This song had me in tears because I just felt it hard… I need to talk to God more.
  • @ashleyrockey978

    On the day of my daughter's delivery both my fiancé and daughter almost lost their lives. Both their heartbeats dropped and my fiancé's flatlined. The Dr's had me leave the room. It was the worst moment of my life. I'm not a very religious guy by any means. The Dr's told me it was Lazarus syndrome but they we're not for certain because the equipment they used to resuscitation was not working. Fast forward five years later, I hear this song playing in the truck and my daughter and wife says, "Turn it up, we love this song!" I haven't seen the video until just now. Unreal. I firmly believe after that night divine intervention took place. Look whatever you want to call it, it does exist in some kind of capacity. Believe it or not, some things you just truly cannot explain. I'm still 🤯 till this day. 🙏

    My wife had a mental break and took a bottle of pills grabbed my gun and stuck it to her head. This song was playing and she pulled the trigger. No clip in the gun and cops rushed her to the floor and she went to the hospital. She doesn't remember what went on. I feel God answered when times were really dark. this song was used to show us God is there for us all the time.. praise be to the Lord we call God 🙏.

    This video TOTALLY touched a painful memory for me. I am a parent that heard from the doctor, “We’ve done all we can for him.” I hurried to the hospital chapel and begged God for a miracle. As soon as I surrendered what I wanted for what ever God wanted even if it meant giving my son back to God; he gifted me with a miracle. My son was off the ventilator before I made it back to his room from the chapel in the hospital. I will never forget it as long as I live. My son with Down syndrome is now 21 yrs old and he’s still my little sunshine!

    My husband has been newly diagnosed with cancer. Been praying hard.

    CONGRADS on the 2024 CMT Video of the Year, Male Video of the Year & Performance of the Year Awards! This was your night my man! I voted for you & my mom voted for you. I've been down that road.. several times. We both heard this song for this first time together when she picked me up from my 3rd rehab. Every time I hear "Save Me" & "I Need A Favor" I break down crying & give it to God! You're an amazing role model & inspiration AND a voice for so many people that we've lost in this crazy world of addiction. Keep blessing us with your words brother!!!!! This world needs more people like you right now! You are part of the solution this country needs! You 1000% deserved this night! -God Bless

    I'm here because I saw him talking to the Senate. I'm a 55 yr old black man and a new fan of Jelly Roll! Awesome voice in every aspect of the word!
  • God gave my wife and I a favor when he spared our 3 year old daughter fighting Leukemia. This video is so accurate. I don't know how many times I held my daughters hand and just begged God for a miracle. My daughter is 4 years cancer free today. Thank you God for our "favor." Thank you Jelly Roll for such real music that speaks to people.
  • @NRM888
    I heard this over the radio this morning. That, after having had a hard time praying this morning. That, after having read 1 Peter 4:7, " The time is near when all things will end. So think clearly and control yourselves so you will be able to pray." God is clearly sending me a message to UP my prayer time some more.
  • After losing my parents and my sister the drugs and alcohol took over and Mom had always really taught me to pray but then I start to really pray because of how my life was spiraling out of control I found myself praying more and more because I knew that my mother wanted me to come out of my situation I'm thankful that jelly roll came out with this song
  • This song hits hard when you grow up going to church as a kid and you see how far away you've become from your faith
  • @shainaroark3955
    I been suffering really bad with my mental health, thought I was going to go crazy! I was so sick! And I kept praying to God to please help me come back! And he did! I am feeling so much better and he kept me from having a nervous breakdown! This song really hits home for so many people! God bless you jelly
  • @joegonzales715
    God bless all who are burden with lifes turmoil. Prayers is something that is all we got...
  • @Hollagrl0999
    When this came out I was homeless, on drugs, and then jail. Now I have a house, job, and husband. This song and “Clover Cage - In the Moment” are the two songs that helped get rid of my depression. I just want to send love to everyone and I want everyone to know things will get better. We are in this together..I love you ❤️
  • @Dknight72L
    I begged God to not take my mother after laying my sister to rest but God saw it differently. Today is my baby sister's birthday, God I talk to you every day and night but your favor was to transition them from this evil world into eternal peace🥺😔🕊💜🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
  • @omarahtopaz3477
    I lost a daughter when i was only 19, and when i was 24 i almost lost my son. Being someone who has been touched with the miracle of God after struggling through most of my life lost this song just describes my whole life. My son is now 21 and i thank God for him every day.
  • @user-oz9tg9hi7q
    That's why I talk to the almighty every night. But don't worry the Almighty understands. That's why I don't question. Love this meaningful song!
