Onstage Behavior:

In a much-copied performance on Fridays (an American TV show), Gerald is seen performing the song alone; singing and playing a keyboard. His facial expression and tone of voice give the impression that he is singing a hymn - indeed, apart from the lyric line about Jesus swimming in his dinner stew, this song could have been a hymn, both lyrically and musically.

Lyrics:
I saw Jesus in the river bed ooh, Jesus laid down by me too.
I saw Jesus in the river bed ooh, then Jesus came into me.
I saw Jesus in the morning in the burning bush, I saw Jesus in the afternoon too;
I saw Jesus at dinner swimming in the stew, that Jesus is everywhere.
