Jason Upton - Jacob's Dream lyrics

Jacob really longed to be a hero

All I really wanted was a friend

I'm the way, the life, the truth

So tell Me Jacob when will the lying end?

And does the striving make you strong?

Because when I came to love on you

You fought me till the dawn

Finally Jacob's lying down

And while he sleeps I will dream

Of a generation not known for their crowns,

Or success, but a King...

Who was not so much as interested in crowds, or

Pleasing men, but knowing Me

CH:

I have given Jacob's generation the key of David, intimacy

To open up the doorway to the nations, and release

Revelation, of intimacy, with me

Jacob had a dream for all the ages

Jacob had a drive to build a nation

But the fighting is in vain

If your only aim is to build your own great name

Because My dream's not what you do

Jacob will you dream for me

The way that I have dreamed for you

CH:

I have given Jacob's generation the key of David, intimacy

To open up the doorway to the nations, and release

Revelation, of intimacy, with me
