Jacob's Trouble
Jacob was a quiet boy
Soft hands a crooked smile
He wasn't like all the other boys running wild
He was smart
He was workin' out on how to get ahead in the race
So scheming lyin' and he pried his brother's blessing away
Jacob's trouble was that he was workin' double
Trying to figure out the easy way yeah
But he's gonna learn a lesson living someday
Fast forward to periods later
Up to the same old tricks
Gotta take what you can from the old man
Get out quick
All those years of scheming' and stealing
Are really no way to live
He's got an angel now and a God that's catching up to him
Jacob's trouble was that he was workin' double
Trying to figure out the easy way
But he's gonna learn a lesson living someday
Instead of running away
Running away
Running away
Running away
In the dark an angel came
Said, "I know who you are, but tell me your name."
It's time to fight. Time to face who you are... and change
You see, there is no easy street
You gotta work out your faith every day
And I will be there to help you and show you the way
Show you the way
Jacob's trouble is he was workin' double
Trying to figure out the easy way
But he's gonna learn a lesson living' someday
Jacob's trouble is just my trouble
The hardest thing is making a change
But I am gonna learn a lesson living
Maybe it's gonna be, maybe it's gonna be today
I'm gonna learn a lesson living someday
Instead of running away
Running away
No running away
Running away
Soft hands a crooked smile
He wasn't like all the other boys running wild
He was smart
He was workin' out on how to get ahead in the race
So scheming lyin' and he pried his brother's blessing away
Jacob's trouble was that he was workin' double
Trying to figure out the easy way yeah
But he's gonna learn a lesson living someday
Fast forward to periods later
Up to the same old tricks
Gotta take what you can from the old man
Get out quick
All those years of scheming' and stealing
Are really no way to live
He's got an angel now and a God that's catching up to him
Jacob's trouble was that he was workin' double
Trying to figure out the easy way
But he's gonna learn a lesson living someday
Instead of running away
Running away
Running away
Running away
In the dark an angel came
Said, "I know who you are, but tell me your name."
It's time to fight. Time to face who you are... and change
You see, there is no easy street
You gotta work out your faith every day
And I will be there to help you and show you the way
Show you the way
Jacob's trouble is he was workin' double
Trying to figure out the easy way
But he's gonna learn a lesson living' someday
Jacob's trouble is just my trouble
The hardest thing is making a change
But I am gonna learn a lesson living
Maybe it's gonna be, maybe it's gonna be today
I'm gonna learn a lesson living someday
Instead of running away
Running away
No running away
Running away
