Translation
Bilingual
Jesse was a hardworking farmer
Put his whole life in his land
He paid his bills on Friday
Gave his tithe on Sunday
His word was as sure as his hand
Jesse wasn't much of a talker
He just did what he said he would do
He loved his wife and family
Redefined what's manly
As all that was faithful and true
And when he talked about heaven
When he talked about Jesus
There was glory in his eyes that could answer all your whys
Open windows to your soul
When he talked about his family
When he talked about a journey
There was something he could see birthed a longing deep in me
When he talked about his home
Years have gone by since he left us
ย
I landed a job and moved away
I left the straight and narrow to see how I would fare
Where bright lights and excitement filled my days
But with all the sounds and the voices
Another voice kept ringing in my ears
That sweet old testimony broke a heart so stony
And called me 'cross the miles and through the years
And when he talked about heaven
When he talked about Jesus
There was glory in his eyes that could answer all your whys
Open windows to your soul
When he talked about his family
When he talked about a journey
There was something he could see birthed a longing deep in me
When he talked about his home
There was something he could see birthed a longing deep in me
When he talked about his home
