Key Themes:
The difference between short-term satisfaction and eternal blessings
The importance of valuing Yah's promises
How seeking the divine leads to lasting fulfillment
(Verse 1)
Two brothers born, but their hearts didn’t align,
Esau chased the moment, Jacob sought the divine.
Esau, the hunter, lived fast and free,
Jacob held on to what he couldn’t yet see.
(Pre-Chorus)
Esau came home, tired and worn,
Saw Jacob’s stew, and his patience was torn.
“Give me that stew, I’m about to die!”
Jacob said, “Sell me your birthright—don’t let it slide.”
(Chorus)
“Jacob I loved, Esau I hate” (Malachi 1:3)
Life’s not just fate but the choices we create.
Esau sold forever for a fleeting taste,
Jacob chose the promise and ran the race.
(Verse 2)
Esau’s hunger blinded his sight,
Traded his birthright without a fight.
“What good is my birthright if I’m not fed?”
Filled his stomach but his spirit lay dead.
(Bridge)
Jacob saw worth where Esau saw none,
Held to Yah’s promise, the race wasn’t done.
One chose the flesh, the other the vine,
One lived for the now, the other sought the divine.
(Chorus)
“Jacob I loved, Esau I hate” (Romans 9:13)
Every choice plants seeds that germinate.
Esau’s hunger led him astray,
Jacob’s patience paved Yah’s way.
(Verse 3)
Every decision is a doorway wide,
Do you cling to Yah or the momentary ride?
Esau’s choice was gone in a bite,
Jacob walked steady into the light.
(Outro)
When the world offers what seems like gold,
Remember Esau and the story told.
Live for the divine, keep Yah’s word near,
And walk in love, with a heart that’s clear.
(Chorus)
“Jacob I loved, Esau I hate,”
Not just destiny but what you cultivate.
A bowl of stew or blessings in line—
Will you trade the promise or seek the divine?
