IN JACOB'S
SHADOW
How must've Jacob
felt
when he knelt before his love
threw his whole heart out to her
as ordained from above
He told Rachel's Daddy
he would toil hard for her
Laban went and tested him
made his love defer
Rachel oh come to me
I cannot wait some more
my heart's dripping below my knees
it glues me to your door
and if
seven years are needed
for us to find the shore
well some girls are just worth waiting for
Laban said
if you love my daughter
show it with your sweat
he tore a piece of Jacob's heart
asked for seven years no less
Time had passed and Jacob cried
but it hardened his good heart
against the pain of withheld kisses
he stored for his lark
Rachel oh come to me
I cannot wait some more
my heart's dripping below my knees
it glues me to your door
and if seven years are needed
for us to find the shore
well some girls are just worth waiting for
Rachel I cannot sleep
in the workers’ lair
the morning breeze it teases me
your scent is in the air
His energy and passion
she brought out the range
it made those seven lonely years
worth the whole exchange
Even if his longing
led him to a hole
her loving spirit broke the dark
it nestled his old soul
Rachel oh come to me
I cannot wait some more
my heart's dripping below my knees
it glues me to your door
and if seven years are needed
for us to find the shore
well some girls are just worth waiting for

COME MORNING
