My Spring and Summer Part 1

We are climbing Jacob's stairway
Where the angels of God are arranging,
While at the top that touches heaven,
Stands a God who is I AM and always,
And as He looks down He will tell us
Of a promise that will move us
To compassion, to repentence,
Where His loving presence and joy abounds.

Here we stand at the gate of heaven
So unworthy of His call.
He is sending us so broken
To reveal His covenant to all.

We are sitting by Jacob's river
Wrestling with a Man whose glory
Cripples us as a reminder
That only by His grace we stand.
As we wrestle He will change our
Name from liar into fighter,
And in the struggle, He reveals His
Face to us who wander on.

Here we stand at the gate of heaven
So unworthy of His call.
He is sending us so broken
To reveal His covenant to all.

We have laid our alters down.
