Jacob (Israel), My Lord

Jacob, my Lord, though wronged ten times

Still served with hands and heart aligned

His father-in-law broke every vow

But Jacob chose the higher ground

He could’ve fought with fire and flame

But chose to wear a humble name

And by his grace, evil stood still

One man’s heart bent to God’s will

Jacob, my Lord, in your faithful way

You showed how love can break the chain

You seemed a fool to worldly eyes

But God in heaven saw the prize

Humility, fear of the Lord

Brought you honor, wealth, and more

Now we remember, now we learn

Jacob, my Lord, it’s to you we turn

You said, "If not for Isaac’s God

I would have fallen to the fraud"

But prayer and trust kept you upright

You walked by faith, not by sight

You taught us that we must confess

We need God’s help for righteousness

We're not above you—far below

So we must pray to walk your road

Jacob, my Lord, your life reveals

The way that justice gently heals

Not by revenge, not by the sword

But by the strength that comes from the Lord

Like David prayed in psalm and song

“Create in me a heart that’s strong”

And lead me, Lord, in paths made true

Jacob, my Lord, we follow you

"Don’t let my heart turn to evil, Lord."

"Don’t let me feast on the lies of the world."

"Let my prayers not chase desires that fade,"

"But seek the heart You alone have made."

"For if I cherish sin inside,"

"Your ears are closed, Your grace denied."

"But if I seek to walk in grace,"

"You build my home, You guard my place."

"I won’t labor in vain, or strive in the dark—"

"You give me rest and light the spark."

Jacob, my Lord, your legacy

Is peace, and strength, and purity

You showed the road of holy rest

And God made all your labors blessed

Now we kneel and raise this prayer

To live like you, with faith to spare

To walk in truth and love, not sword

Jacob, my teacher… Jacob, my Lord.

Jacob, my Lord, your legacy

Is peace, and strength, and purity

You showed the road of holy rest

And God made all your labors blessed

Now we kneel and raise this prayer

To live like you, with faith to spare

To walk in truth and love, not sword

Jacob, my teacher… Jacob, my Lord.
