When He Talked About His Home 歌词

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- 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 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- There was something he could see Birthed a longing deep in me- When he talked about his home
