The Lesson Lyrics

Having lunch

Down where the rivers meet

Me and Rosie

Rick and Steve

We were eating

And a' playing our songs

But she was feeding sheep

Showing us the love of God

Letting Jesus have His way

The things she did and said

That pointed me that way

And it's a lesson I can't forget

It got burned in my heart

Oh I tasted the love of God

And it changed my heart

And it's a lesson I can't forget

I seen Jesus that day

And I praise God

For people who live that way

The pastor and his wife

They took us in

And we were kinda strange

Back then

But they fed us

And they clothed us

And they treated us just like Him

He caught some flack

From his church

'Cause he let us sleep in the pews

But all the time

I was watching that man

Learning about what Jesus would do

And it's a lesson I can't forget

It got burned in my heart

Oh I tasted the love of God

And it changed my heart

And it's a lesson I can't forget

I seen Jesus that day

And I praise God

For people who live that way

My sweet Momma Lou in Lewiston

She fixed me breakfast

More than once

And the pancakes

That she served up

They were smothered

In God's love

And Jimmy's dad he helped me fix my truck

When I was broke and down

And he kept me rolling

Down the right road

With the Message

To another town

And it's a lesson I can't forget

It got burned in my heart

Oh I tasted the love of God

And it changed my heart

And it's a lesson I can't forget

I seen Jesus that day

And I praise God

For people who live that way

Now Peter he was different

He approached me

Unlike the rest

And I don't remember

A word he said

But I could tell he cared

And Betty and Mattie

And the Black sisters

They encouraged us to testify

And when Dale and I got up

And said what Jesus

Had done in our lives

I seen them cry

And it's a lesson I can't forget

It got burned in my heart

Oh I tasted the love of God

And it changed my heart

And it's a lesson I can't forget

I seen Jesus that day

And I praise God

For people who live that way

I was in the city down by the bay

And I met Kent

And Ollie and Paul

They were kind of outcast

From the Golden Gate

'Cause they'd forsaken it all

We traveled 'round

Squished in funky old cars

Praising the King of Kings

And everywhere we went

He met our every need

Praise God He still does

And it's a lesson I can't forget

It got burned in my heart

Oh I tasted the love of God

And it changed my heart

And it's a lesson I can't forget

I seen Jesus that day

And I praise God

For people who live that way

Oh it's a lesson

I can't forget

Oh it's a lesson

I can't forget

Oh it's a lesson

I can't forget

Oh it's a lesson
