Many years pass
Jacob is dead
The Israelites that came through his family
They're enslaved in Egypt
And God appears to a man named Moses
Exodus chapter three
At the burning bush
And Moses asks God
The same thing Jacob asks God
He said, Suppose
I go to the Israelites
And say to them
The God of your fathers
Has sent me to you
And they ask,
What is His Name?
Then, what shall I tell them?
God said to Moses,
"I Am Who I Am"
This is what you are to say
To the Israelites
"I Am" has sent me to you
Now I preach that verse a lot
But I've never preached the next one
And I'm gonna leave you with it
Because the next thing
God said to Moses is,
Say to the Israelites
When they wanna know who I Am
And what kind of God I Am
Tell them, the Lord,
The God of your fathers
The God of Abraham
The God of Isaac
And I'm thinking He's going to say
The God of Israel
Because that's Jacob's good side
That's the new Jacob
If you're God, and
You want to make yourself known
Wouldn't you call yourself
The God of Israel?
Wouldn't you want to be
The God of their good side?
Wouldn't you want to be
The God of the guy
Who was changed
In the wrestling match?
But He says to Moses
And He says to you today
If you want to know who I Am
You need to understand
I'm the God of Jacob too
I'm the God of Jacob
I'm the God of that part of you
That you don't want anyone to see
I'm not just the God of your success
I'm the God of your struggle
I'm the God of Jacob too
I'm not just the God of your victories
I'm the God of your defeats
I'm the God of Jacob
The God of Jacob is in this place
His name is Jesus
He's full of mercy
Full of grace
Full of truth
Oh, God of Jacob!
