From Jacob to Israel with love
On the day he strove with the angel
No one knew the extent to which his
Example would show how repentance changes all.
Believe me, even his new name showed this.
Esau, even, could see what years with his crimes
Changed in him and so forgave Isaac's son.
On that day God hinted at the rhymes:
Messiah is to pariah as creation is to nation.
Examine yourself with gentle wonder;
Striving with what you have done.
Mercy is yours if you leave the thunder
Alone and concentrate what lessons you've won.
Now go forth in newness as your gift.
You are walking praise: God's face lift.
