Genesis 32

Baruch Ata Adonai, Eloheinu melech ha'olam
 (Blessed are you, Lord our God, Ruler of the Universe)
 Ki-ra'iti Elohim panim el panim vatinatsel nafshi
 (For I have seen God face to Face and yet my life is spared)
 In arrogance Jacob cheated Esau of his inheritance
 And was on the run from his older brother ever since
 Forced to run and hide
 He sent his family and team across the stream while camping on the other side
 Under a starry sky, tension hung in the air
 Jacob was in despair as he uttered a prayer
 Within his heart feeling a range of emotions
 He looked up and out of the darkness saw a stranger approach him
 What Jacob was facing was an amazing visitation
 But fear for his life lead to a brazen altercation
 At first he thought it was Esau, until he got close by
 And realized it was a messenger from on high
 The shoving match wouldn't pass, in fact it lasted long
 Kept dragging on until the crack of dawn
 As Jacob held on with a grip, the stranger tapped on his hip
 And knocked it out of socket, causing him to walk with a limp
 Aching and bruised with a leg that was moved, seized with anger
 Dazed and confused, Jacob refused to release the stranger
 The man said, "It's daybreak, let me go"
 Jacob responded, "Unless you bless me, no"
 As Jacob stood still on the plains of Peniel
 The stranger revealed the change of his name to Israel
 But Jacob had a question right before the stranger left him
 "What is your name?" The man said, "Why do you ask?"And then He blessed him
 It was a time of testing, yet it left an impression
 And it was more than the fact that Jacob received his blessing
 Frightened and scared, at this time he declared
 "I have seen the living God yet my life has been spared"
 Baruch Ata Adonai, Eloheinu melech ha'olam
 (Blessed are you, Lord our God, Ruler of the Universe)
 Ki-ra'iti Elohim panim el panim vatinatsel nafshi
 (For I have seen God face to Face and yet my life is spared)
 Translation of final Hebrew singingLord God of Israel, who is like you oh God,
 in heaven above or in the earth below?
 But will you truly dwell on earth?
 The heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain you!
