lyrics

The Birthright
Based on Genesis 25; Romans 9; Hebrews 12

Jacob have I loved, Esau have I hated;
Is there unrighteousness with God?
The lesser would be served by the greater,
And his portion would allot;

Blessed privilege lost, rooted in profaneness,
Breeded tears of deep regret.
Time will tell the cost of what we forfeit,
Warn us Lord, lest we forget;

The birthright I would not despise,
No matter what the earthly prize;
For God is seeking those who honor it.
It’s not of him who wills nor runs,
But His mercy on the one
Whom He selected by his sovereignty.

Every man is sold under sin’s slavery;
Stolen is our joy and peace.
How can we be bold with condemnation?
Who will grant us full release?

Jubilee has come, freedom from oppression;
Bonds are broken, blind have sight.
The all-inclusive One is now our portion;
We’ve come back to claim our right;

The birthright I would not despise,
No matter what the earthly prize;
For God is seeking those who come back to it.
It’s not of him who wills nor runs,
But His mercy on the one
Whom He selected by his sovereignty.
