I saw Esau and you would not believe
While I am cooking and cleaning he’s cuttin’ down a tree
My mama likes me better can you imagine that
So I stole my brother’s birthright
And I’m not gonna give it back

Chorus:

So I took what wasn’t mine
I hurt myself every time
Well you know things will work out just fine
But I shouldn’t take what isn’t mine
Shouldn’t take what isn’t mine

I saw Esau and he feels just like a bear
Cause though we are twin brothers I don’t have Esau’s hair
And my dad is losing all of his eyesight
So I dressed like a bear wore hair everywhere
And I stole Esau’s birthright

(Repeat Chorus)

I saw Esau now years have gone by
Can you believe he loves me
And forgave my awful lie
So God will forgive us when we go astray
God is our redeemer so I will obey

Some call me Jacob, my friends call me
But God’s calling me to be Israel today
I’ll never take what isn’t mine

I hurt myself every time
Well you know things will work out just fine
But I’ll never take what isn’t mine
I’ll never take what isn’t mine
I saw Esau, I saw Esau, I saw Esau
