A pain is deep inside Christ’s heart
For He has seen within.
And just as Esau’s flesh did wince
You’ve sold your birthright to men.
You’ve exchanged it for the lesser things
For power this earth does hold
But nothing shall fill up thine heart
One day you’ll see the holes.
For just a moment of fleshly need
You’ve taken the devil’s hand
For you could not resist his ploy
To lead you from your land.
What sorrow comes as you do see
The “stew” was just lean meat
And for a moment of pleasures fed
Your birthright was sold for cheap.
Prepared for you were plenty of vines
Filled with fruit for miles
And joy was waiting up ahead
Filled with the light of Christ.
For in His bread is fullness met
Every need of heart
But Satan convinced you “have a sip”
You answered his deceptive call.
In dire haste with no forethought
The enemy had you pinned
And in one moment of weariness
Sold!….your birthright to men.
Your emptiness, now, is no mistake
And anger now ensues
Perhaps if you might bend a knee
He’ll return your birthright to you.
His mercy waits for you to turn
His hand is stretched out near
And if you’ll turn from worldly things
He’ll restore your birthright again.
