Call Me Jacob, Call Me More
by YS Berry
Verse 1:
Under the stars, I stood alone,
A battle started, flesh and bone.
Through the night, I felt the strain,
A fight for something I couldn't name.

Pre-Chorus:
He said, "The morning comes, let me go,"
But I held on tight, couldn’t say no.
Through the pain, through the tears,
I wrestled with my doubts and fears.

Chorus:
I won’t let you go till you bless me,
Through the breaking dawn, can you test me?
Call me Jacob, call me more,
I’ve fought with heaven, I’ve fought before.
I won’t let you go till you bless me,
Through the fire, through the mystery.
Call me Israel, I’m reborn,
A name rewritten by the storm.

Verse 2:
He asked my name, I said it clear,
"Jacob," but I felt the shift draw near.
"You’ve prevailed through heaven’s fight,
You’ll rise with strength into the light."

Chorus:
He said, "The morning comes, let me go,"
But I held on tight, couldn’t say no.
Through the pain, through the tears,
I wrestled with my doubts and fears.

Chorus:
I won’t let you go till you bless me,
Through the breaking dawn, can you test me?
Call me Jacob, call me more,
I’ve fought with heaven, I’ve fought before.
I won’t let you go till you bless me,
Through the fire, through the mystery.
Call me Israel, I’m reborn,
A name rewritten by the storm.

Bridge:
Every scar, every fight,
Marks the path to the morning light.
A new name, a destiny,
Born from this eternity.

Chorus:
I won’t let you go till you bless me,
Through the breaking dawn, can you test me?
Call me Jacob, call me more,
I’ve fought with heaven, I’ve fought before.
I won’t let you go till you bless me,
Through the fire, through the mystery.
Call me Israel, I’m reborn,
A name rewritten by the storm.

Outro:
Under the stars, I stood alone,
But now I rise, a heart of stone.
Call me Israel, I’ve prevailed,
Through the night, my soul unveiled.
