Esau

Solomon Pehrson 2004 (Oregon)

Lyric
Hunger now has bought your births blessing
So I’m covered in my mother’s goat skins
What would you trade to have killed me then
Could I say that I’m undeserving

Esau, Esau it’s not fair
I fled and found a golden stair
A headstone not of death but sleep
Awoke to build an altar there

I feel like I fooled my way into this place
Into your Grace

Why did you choose me?
