He robbed me of my just right
Yet the chosen one he became
How could it be in God’s sight?
In His Hallowed Holy Name?
My brother, the twinned one,
How I loved him true in heart
My own mother’s beloved son
He stole away my lawful part!
His father is father of mine
Of one womb we were born
Yet his fortune rose to shine
While my inheritance was torn!
Obedient I was to father’s will
From the time I received a mind
While I was seeking it to fulfill
He was turning a tricky grind!
He conned Laban in the north
My mother’s close kin sanguine
And made own wealth grow forth
But wasn’t imputed crime or sin!
He’s to be king upon brothers
His name set to go down history
I till my dry land while he thrives
Elohim, your will to me is mystery!
I submit to your omniscient vision
Let your will be done on earth
You execute your loving mission
Employing our moan and mirth!
