JACOB AND ISRAEL  1993
(Guy Thomas)   There's a story in the bible about Jacob. Through his struggles he's transformed into Israel.                            

Sing from the heart children
Sing for the joy of life
From every hill and dale
Jacob is Israel
Now Jacob is Israel

He can feel the wind blowin'
Really feel the wind blow
When you ask him where he's goin'
He'll smile and say "I don't know"
He can feel the sun shining
Really feel the sun shine
And he flows with the connection
Between his soul and his mind

But he's done his time in the shadows
Spent some time in the dark
And he's walked alone into battle
With nothing but his heart
And he can tell you the tale
Of Jacob and Israel

The moment came in his lifetime
When he drew his sword from its sheath
There was nothing left but fighting
For what it was that he believed in
Last night I tried hard to focus
Do some work and then go to bed
But I wound up in front of the TV
Remote in hand, instead

Well I know that there are some demons
Tuggin' at my sleeve
But they're nothin' but little demons
Tryin' to have their way with me
Lord I'm down on my knees, help me

Sing from the heart children
Sing for the joy of life
From every hill and dale
Jacob is Israel, now Jacob is Israel
