Eu Era Jacó

Until yesterday I was Jacob
A deceiver, a supplanter, that's who I was
For a bowl of lentils I bought my brother
And the blessing of the firstborn I took for myself

Until yesterday I was Jacob
Unsteady and without real commitment to God
But yesterday there at the Jabbok ford
There was an unavoidable encounter between me and God

I met with God
And wrestled with Him to be blessed
But the Lord wanted me to be changed
And from then on, I became a faithful believer

I met with God
And was wounded in the thigh, changing my walk
Character changed, everything changed even my speech
And my name from Jacob became Israel

Whoever meets with God
Something will have to change
Changes name, address, changes language
There must be a change if you want to reach heaven

And if until today your name remains Jacob
Go down to Peniel with your face in the dust
And God will transform you into an Israel

Change, change, change
We need to change for the better
Change! Change!
After this encounter, we will never be Jacob again

I met with God
And wrestled with Him to be blessed
But the Lord wanted me to be changed
And from then on, I became a faithful believer

I met with God
And was wounded in the thigh, changing my walk
Character changed, everything changed even my speech
And my name from Jacob became Israel

Whoever meets with God
Something will have to change
Changes name, address, changes language
There must be a change if you want to reach heaven

And if until today your name remains Jacob
Go down to Peniel with your face in the dust
And God will transform you into an Israel

Change, change, change
We need to change for the better
Change! Change
After this encounter, we will never be

Until yesterday I was Jacob
