Key: D
Introduction:
Dm G/B C
Jacob really longed to be a hero
Dm G/B C
All I really wanted was a friend
Bb G/B
I'm the way, the life, the truth
C Dm C/E F
So tell Me Jacob when will the lying end?
Dm C/E F
And does the striving make you strong?
Bb G/B C
Because when I came to love on you
Dm C/E G
You fought me till the dawn
Dm C/E D/F#
Finally Jacob's lying down
G
And while he sleeps I will dream
Dm C/E D/F#
Of a generation not known for their crowns,
G
Or success, but a King...
Dm E/C D/F#
Who was not so much as interested in crowds,
G
or pleasing men, but knowing Me
Bb G/B C
I have given Jacob's generation
Dm C/E F G
the key of David, intimacy
Bb G/B C
To open up the doorway to the nations,
Dm C/E F
and release revelation,
G
of intimacy,
Dm G/B C
Jacob had a dream for all the ages
Dm G/B C
Jacob had a drive to build a nation
Bb G/B
But the striving is in vain
C
If your only aim
Dm C/E F
is to build your own great name
Dm C/E F
Because My dream's not what you do
Bb G/B C
Jacob will you dream for me
Dm C/E G
The way that I have dreamed for you
C Dm
