Spring of Hope - Peniel Lyrics
It's not hard to be an EsauThe hunger burns like acidTo corrode and erode your fight and faithIt's not hard to be a CainWhen you've got to shift the blameAnd tell yourself your faults are fateBut it's an agony to live a promiseTo stake your life on a hopeTo trust and pray and reach but waitWhen weakness is your strengthAnd it's in dying that you liveMy name is JacobI know what I want and where to get itI connive and contrive for what should be mineAnd expect no one could give itBut I'm scared tonightFor the truth and I must meetI've played my last prank; I shiver on this bank***** in the fig leaves of my deceit[Chorus]But this is my PenielIn the morning I'll face my pastBut tonight a promise I graspThis is my fight for faithAn angel wrestles meThat's blood on the ground you seeI'm a hard one to blessBut can I settle for something less'What I knew, I know no more; my pride has hit the floorBut by the break of morn, Israel shall be born[Chorus]
