Israel; The Prince

If the foundation is destroyed
A believer can seek for changes
Jacob whose name means cheat…
Sought Gods blessing which he received
 
The power of identity and prayer
It changed things for him

With parents as Isaac and Rebekah

One will expect better...

His wife Rachel would make similar error
She named her child Ben-oni child of my sorrow
Thankfully Jacob knew enough than to allow this

He swiftly changed it to Benjamin; son of my right hand

How many have been scarred
Many suffer from errors of their forbears
Putting an unnecessary yoke on a child

If there's any to blame; dump it on Adam

Our actions today is an harvest for coming generation

We can transfer blessing or curse to our lineage
Disobedience greed, sin can bring untold hardship

If only I can turn back time…

Back date to the time of Adam and Eve

But you can make better choice today

Chart a better Patriarchal order for your ancestry 

Let them be thankful you came ahead

Whatever choice they made, we must choose better
We cant keep blaming them, we must move to better

We must take ownership of our own life 

It is ours after all and we can turn it around

Jacob is Israel, He fought and warred in prayer

He stands as a Prince today; a global beacon 

Telling us we can chart a better course

If he did it; we can also
