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

And Jesse wasn't much of a talker

Just did what he said he would do

He loved his wife and family

And 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

I landed a job and moved away

Left the straight and narrow

To see how I would fare

Where bright lights and excitement filled my days

But with all of the sounds and the voices

Another voice kept ringing in my ears

That sweet old testimony

Broke a heart so stony

And called me across 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
