Living With Leah, but Longing for Rachel

Brittany Noel Fuller

This is my Leah
I do not want her
But I was told to serve
This is my Leah

I'm longing for Rachel
But for her I must wait
Serving away from her
This is my Leah

I did not ask for my Leah
But He said "Here!"
And who am I to refuse?
This is my Leah

My Rachel awaits
But first I must stay
For He will not forsake me
This is my Leah
