7]The courage of Jacob walking with God

Intro The story of Jacob who walked with God, A struggle in the night for the morning ​[Verse 1] Fleeing the fury of his own brother Jacob plunges into the austere night A stone for a pillow, the sky for a roof He searches for a glimmer to guide his steps ​[Chorus] Bless me! O Jehovah before the day breaks.... Walk with me, fulfill my dream May I find my faith in the struggle I will not let go, my life is yours... ​[Verse 2] At Laban's, the years have passed Between toil and often broken promises But the spirit perseveres despite the burden Guided by the promise engraved on his skin ​[Chorus] Bless me! O Jehovah before the day breaks.... Walk with me, fulfill my dream May I find my faith in the struggle I will not let go, my life is yours... ​[Verse 3] At the ford of Jabbok, alone in the dark A stranger grabs him, shattering his hope They wrestle body to body until morning A wound to his hip changes his destiny ​[Chorus] Bless me! O Jehovah before the day breaks.... Walk with me, fulfill my dream May I find my faith in the struggle I will not let go, my life is yours... ​[Verse 4] He grits his teeth as the sun shines He has conquered the angel in the heart of the night His name is changed, Israel is born Bearer of an alliance anchored forever ​[Outro] He walks with a limp, but his heart is at peace Esau embraces him, the past is erased forever A new name for a new life Love triumphs and grace is eternal
