Esau's Decsion
Hebrews 12:16-"lest there be any fornicator or profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birthright."
In our battles we must not lose sightÂ
For one single meal Esau sold his birthrightÂ
Though he sought it diligently with tearsÂ
He was given over to his own fearsÂ
Esau gave it all up for a bowl of stew
The lust of the flesh he only knewÂ
He lived his life as a wandererÂ
Distant from God that is for sureÂ
You can find an Esau today if you searchÂ
You can even find Esaus in the churchÂ
Giving up the greater for the lesserÂ
Succumbing to the earthly pleasureÂ
Esau truly missed his purpose in lifeÂ
Because he lost in his flesh fightÂ
And will we press forward or will we withdraw?
Will we overcome or just be an Esau?
