Jacob Jacob

Jacob, Jacob

Dark hollow eyes stare before me
Kind they once where
Now only pain fills them
You stand silently watching the world go by
Killing yourself with your self hatred and anger
Quiet you may seem
You are broken in all your stillness
It breaks my heart
That I don't know how to help you
Cannot help you.
These broken hands cannot hold yours
For you refuse to let them

I'm blind and deaf
Says the prophet he
I cannot find the lantern
That will break through the darkness that surrounds you
I cannot bring the healing touch
That will let you see the light
I cannot open your ears
So you can hear the voice crying out
“Jacob, Jacob run to me. “
“Jacob, Jacob, my lost son, cry out to me. I’m here for you”
Says The Father

Jacob, Jacob, the prophet he
He of the broken eyes
He who is the broken man
He who can be so much for Him
He who refuses help and love
For he thinks he does not deserve it
Jacob, Jacob, I cry for thee
Every night behind my dreams
My heart cries for you to realize
The hope you have
And the love so many have for you.

“Jacob, Jacob” says He “Run to me.

Jacob, Jacob the prophet he, Come back to Me”.
