Jesse /ˈdʒɛs.iː/,Isai or Yishai (Hebrew: יִשַׁי, Modern Yishay, Tiberian Yīšáy, meaning "God exists" or "God's gift"; Arabic: يَسَّى Yassa; Syriac: ܐܝܫܝ Eshai; Greek: Ἰεσσαί Iessai; Latin: Isai, Jesse) is the father of David, who became the king of the Israelites. His son David is sometimes called simply "Son of Jesse" (Ben Yishai).
Jesse was the son of Obed and the grandson of Ruth and of Boaz. He lived in Bethlehem, in Judah, and was of the Tribe of Judah, he was a farmer, breeder and owner of sheep. He was a prominent resident of the town of Bethlehem. Jesse is important in Judaism because he was the father of the most famous King of Israel. He is important in Christianity, in part because he is in the Old Testament and mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus. Later rabbinic traditions name him as one of four ancient Israelites who died without sin, the other three being Benjamin, Chileab and Amram.
Jesse (1988) is a children's picture book written by acclaimed Australian author Tim Winton and illustrated by Maureen Prichard. It is the story of a small boy exploring the wild countryside beyond his garden gate - all alone.

VERSE 1
Words fail me.
Night falls, I'm a heart beat from breaking.
I see his face in all of it's details, and
Every time I close my eyes it's waiting.
Oh, I know, I've lived faithlessly
I'm just preying right now that a God can hear me
Pleading for something
Peace from the pain in my heart that is haunting me since I let him go...
CHORUS
For My Sins I'm here without you
Don't you know my heart is breaking too-
Give me something to believe in,
When two hearts are breaking they never break even.
For My Sins I'm here without you
Don't you know my heart is breaking too-
Give me something to believe in-
When two hearts are breaking they never break even
VERSE 2
Imagining how life will be
Without you waking up right next to me
As you left the city felt so silent
Hearing the door click closed behind you felt so violent.
I know love is not a promise
You're tired of fighting so won't fight for this
So, I lie alone in this night and it's empty
Only the darkness is holding me...
Oh time take the pain away from me
Make me face it don't let me run
Oh bravery come a speak to me
Let me believe in what I've become...
CHORUS
For My Sins I'm here without you
Heaven sent and I let hell break through
Cos I had someone to believe in-
Two hearts breaking they never break even
For My Sins I'm here without you
Heaven sent and I let hell break through
Cos I had someone to believe in-
