spring of hope – peniel lyrics
it’s not hard to be an esau
the hunger burns like acid
to corrode and erode your fight and faith
it’s not hard to be a cain
when you’ve got to shift the blame
and tell yourself your faults are fate
but it’s an agony to live a promise
to stake your life on a hope
to trust and pray and reach but wait
when weakness is your strength
and it’s in dying that you live
my name is jacob
i know what i want and where to get it
i connive and contrive for what should be mine
and expect no one could give it
but i’m scared tonight
for the truth and i must meet
i’ve played my last prank; i shiver on this bank
naked in the fig leaves of my deceit
[chorus]
but this is my peniel
in the morning i’ll face my past
but tonight a promise i grasp
this is my fight for faith
an angel wrestles me
that’s blood on the ground you see
i’m a hard one to bless
but can i settle for something less’
what i knew, i know no more; my pride has h-t the floor
but by the break of morn, israel shall be born
[chorus]
