Verse 1 Isaac was fading Eyes growing dim God had spoken But he leaned on his will Called for the hunter Son of the field But heaven had written What man wouldn’t yield Rebecca was watching Fear in her chest Trying to help What God already blessed Bread on the table Deception begins The blessing was taken Through shadows and skin Pre-Chorus Oh the plans of men And the pride within Trying to move the hand of God Chorus I been wrestling with heaven Trying to get my way Holding on to control While You're calling me to faith Every scar that I carry Every step that I take Shows a God full of mercy Won’t let go when I break When my ego tries edging God out And fear is all I see Your grace keeps pulling my heart Back to my knees I can run, I can hide I can fight all night But Your mercy always wins the fight Verse 2 Jacob kept running Dust on his feet Favor and blessing In the fields that he'd meet But Laban the schemer With bargains and chains Turned Jacob’s own tricks Back on him again Years in the waiting Working in pain Two wives and a house Built through sorrow and gain Still Jacob kept striving Still Jacob kept scheming Still Jacob kept wrestling With God in between Chorus I been wrestling with heaven Trying to get my way Holding on to control While You're calling me to faith Every scar that I carry Every step that I take Shows a God full of mercy Won’t let go when I break When my ego tries edging God out And fear is all I see Your grace keeps pulling my heart Back to my knees I can run, I can hide I can fight all night But Your mercy always wins the fight Bridge In the dark of the night By the river alone A stranger appeared And the struggle was on All of his strength All of his pride Six hours of fighting Till morning light Then just with a touch God shattered his stride Showing the power He held back all night Jacob cried out “I won’t let You go Till You bless me Lord Before You go” Bridge Lift So God gave a name And a limp for his soul A mark of surrender A heart made whole Final Chorus I been wrestling with heaven Trying to get my way Holding on to control While You're calling me to faith Every scar that I carry Every step that I take Shows a God full of mercy Won’t let go when I break When my ego tries edging God out And fear is all I see Your grace keeps pulling my heart Back to my knees I can run, I can hide I can fight all night But Your mercy always wins the fight Outro Jacob walked forward With a limp and a prayer Seven times he bowed low In the morning air But Esau came running With tears in his eyes God had been working On both of their lives
