Chords of a Man - Jacob's Song Lyrics

I was known as a quiet man
Made my dwelling in tents
Second of sons, known as the one
Struggling without relent

Blessing gained by supplanting ways
Spurred the fury of Edom's
Anger to slay; I fled away
Yet dreams awaited from God

The God whom my fathers walked with
The Angel who has redeemed me
The One who sustained me when
All I could do was pray
Lord You're the One I walk with
You're the One Who redeemed me
You are the God Who shepherded me
All my life to this day

Exiled, sojourning with no home
Stone for my head to rest
A vision I saw, a ladder so tall
Through which Earth would be blessed

Years I labored for one I loved
Only to be deceived
Unrighteousness led me in distress
God of Bethel to see

The God whom my fathers walked with
The Angel who has redeemed me
The One who sustained me when
All I could do was pray
Lord You're the One I walk with
You're the One Who redeemed me
You are the God Who shepherded me
All my life to this day

How I prayed for deliverance
From him who would pursue
I, in that place, saw God face to face
There my strength was subdued

Through the loss of the ones I loved
Emptied now I confess
Few were my days, evil my ways
Now with fullness I bless

The God whom my fathers walked with
The Angel who has redeemed me
The One who sustained me when
All I could do was pray
Lord You're the One I walk with
You're the One Who redeemed me
You are the God Who shepherded me
All my life to this day

The God whom my fathers walked with
The Angel who has redeemed me
The One who sustained me when
All I could do was pray
Lord You're the One I walk with
You're the One Who redeemed me
You are the God Who shepherded me
All my life to this day
This day
This day
