JABBOK JIVE

Jabbok’s Jive- Genesis 32:22-32

He took his children , wife and slaves

brought them over to the other side

and finally he stayed behind

waiting for the dawning of the day

waiting for the end of night

and in a way the man was dancing

and he danced the Jabbok’s jive

It is here where jacob wrestled

till his hip got strucked out of it’s joint

but he still opposed god’s angel

in a fiercefull fight anointed by the pain inside

In a way he still was dancing

and he danced the Jabbok’s jive

It is here where God came down

and had to take a stand

against this man of flesh and blood

who kept resisting him till morning dawn

God had to hit him on his side

and in a way he kept on dancing

and he danced he Jabbok’s jive

God told him please

just let Me go

for the day is dawning

morning glory has arrived

the birds are singing in this one accord

And these words Jacob replied

i will not let you go before you bless me lord.

you must heal me make me feel alive

and in a way he still was dancing

and he danced the Jabbok’s jive

I won’t call you Jacob

for i know a better name

Israel it than shall be

for you have struggled and have won the game

you have fought against your God

seaw his face and kept alive

in a way you have been dancing

and you’ve danced the Jabbok’s Jive
