Jacob have I loved, Esau have I hated
Is there unrighteousness with God?
The lesser would be served by the greater
And his portion would allot
Blessed privilege lost, rooted in profaneness
Breeded tears of deep regret
Time will tell the cost of what we forfeit
Warn us Lord, lest we forget
The birthright I would not despise
No matter what the earthly prize
For God is seeking those who honor it
It's not of him who wills nor runs
But His mercy on the one
Whom He selected by his sovereignty
Every man is sold under sin's slavery
Stolen is our joy and peace
How can we be bold with condemnation?
Who will grant us full release?
Jubilee has come, freedom from oppression
Bonds are broken, blind have sight
The all-inclusive One is now our portion
We've come back to claim our right
The birthright I would not despise
No matter what the earthly prize
For God is seeking those who come back to it
It's not of him who wills nor runs
But His mercy on the one
Whom He selected by his sovereignty
The birthright I would not despise
No matter what the earthly prize
For God is seeking those who would honor it
It's not of him who wills nor runs
But His mercy on the one
Whom He selected by his sovereignty
The birthright I would not despise
No matter what the earthly prize
For God is seeking those who come back to it
It's not of him who wills nor runs
But His mercy on the one
Whom He selected by his sovereignty
