about

Genesis 25:29-34, 28:10-17
Genesis, chapters 27 and 32

lyrics

Night fell on me like a heavy dream
Of angels coming and going
I thought I heard You say
You’d keep me safe and walk with me

I waited by the riverside for Esau
To come and take my life
Like I took his own years ago

Israel, I struggle to be redeemed
Israel, You freely give Your blessing

I wrestle with You before dawn
When the night is darkest
And You break me down
Till there’s nothing left but a new name

Israel, I struggle to be redeemed
Israel, You freely give Your blessing

Shed the skin, shear the lies I left behind
Dress me with a blessing truly mine
Shed the skin, shear the lie that made me blind
Dress me with a blessing truly mine

Israel, I struggle to be redeemed
Israel, You freely give Your blessing
