Jacob's Dream

​

Jacob's Dream is a song based on the biblical story of Jacob's journey to Haran. In his dream, Jacob sees a ladder reaching to heaven, with angels ascending and descending. God speaks to Jacob from the top of the ladder and promises to bless him and his descendants. The song is a message of hope and faith, even in the midst of difficult times.
 

(Verse 1)

Jacob left Beersheba, on his way to Haran

With a heavy heart, but a steadfast plan

To find a wife and build a new life

And escape the wrath of his brother's strife

(Chorus)

Oh, Jacob's journey, long and far

But God was with him, like a guiding star

In his dreams, he saw a ladder reaching high

A symbol of hope, against the dreary sky

(Verse 2)

He lay his head on a stone that night

And dreamed of angels, bathed in light

They ascended and descended upon a stair

And God spoke to him, from up there

(Chorus)

Oh, Jacob's journey, long and far

But God was with him, like a guiding star

In his dreams, he saw a ladder reaching high

A symbol of hope, against the dreary sky

(Bridge)

God promised to bless Jacob and his seed

And to make him a nation, indeed

He said, "I will be with you wherever you go

And bring you back to this land, don't you know?"

(Chorus)

Oh, Jacob's journey, long and far

But God was with him, like a guiding star

In his dreams, he saw a ladder reaching high

A symbol of hope, against the dreary sky

(Outro)

Jacob awoke, with a newfound faith

And vowed to follow God, on the path

Though trials may come, he knew he'd be blessed

For God's promises, could never be suppressed
