Like Jacob

Like Jacob

Joel Howard

Like Jacob

I stop wrestling

I start resting

Like Jacob

Like Jacob

I have struggled

and contended

Like Jacob

Like Jacob

I see stairs

I see angels

Like Jacob

What mystery

What mystery

as I wrestle

for Your blessing

Now I'm limping

Now I'm feeling

My limitations

and my weaknesses

Like Jacob,

I am re-named

You gave

me my new calling

Like Paul, Saul

Like David, Shepherd, King

Like so many

List, unending

Like Jacob,

I'm awakened

Though I'm limping

I feel Your blessing

Here, Bethel

Here, I wrestled

Here, I am let know

I can let go

God's divinity

Has conquered me

Conquered sin in me

I am settled
