Genesis
29
Verse
1
Jacob's
journey, led by the star,
To
Haran, the land so far,
Saw
a well, a stone atop,
Shepherds
gathered, their flocks to drop.
Chorus
Oh,
Jacob, on your quest so true,
Seeking
love and kin so new,
Through
the trials, your heart prevails,
In
the land where Rachel hails.
Verse
2
"Brothers,
tell me of Nahor's kin,
Do
you know Laban within?"
"Yes,
we know him," shepherds said,
"And
here comes Rachel," they all read.
Bridge
Hearts
collide at the well,
Where
love's first story they tell,
Jacob's
heart began to swell,
For
Rachel, his love fell.
Chorus
Oh,
Jacob, on your quest so true,
Seeking
love and kin so new,
Through
the trials, your heart prevails,
In
the land where Rachel hails.
Verse
3
Jacob
rolled the stone away,
Watered
Laban's flocks that day,
Rachel
ran to tell her sire,
Laban's
welcome, warm as fire.
Verse
4
"Stay
with us, my sister's son,
Tell
me all the deeds you've done."
Jacob's
story then he told,
Seven
years for Rachel's hold.
Chorus
Oh,
Jacob, on your quest so true,
Seeking
love and kin so new,
Through
the trials, your heart prevails,
In
the land where Rachel hails.
Verse
5
Seven
years of love's sweet labor,
But
deceit from Laban's favor,
Leah
first, beneath the veil,
Jacob's
heart began to wail.
Bridge
Promises
so quickly bent,
But
Jacob's love would not relent,
Seven
more years he'd consent,
For
Rachel, heaven sent.
Chorus
Oh,
Jacob, on your quest so true,
Seeking
love and kin so new,
Through
the trials, your heart prevails,
In
the land where Rachel hails.
Verse
6
Rachel,
finally his bride,
Love
fulfilled, side by side,
Children
born, each one a part,
Of
the journey from the heart.
Outro
In
the land where love did start,
Jacob's
tale, a work of art,
Through
the trials, love remained,
In
Haran, where dreams were gained.
Chorus
(repeated)
Oh,
Jacob, on your quest so true,
Seeking
love and kin so new,
Through
the trials, your heart prevails,
In
the land where Rachel hails.
