(Verse 1)
There was once in Jacob's life
When he was left alone
A man wrestled with him that night
They fought til the break of dawn
The man saw He could not win
So He touched Jacob's hip
That blow had disabled him
From then on he began to limp.
(Pre-Chorus)
Yet he held on to this man,
A man unseen, unknown
He held Him tight, would not let go
Until the blessing he bestows.
(Chorus)
I’ve been wrestling with the One,
Who never leaves, who never runs,
Touch my life, break my pride,
To my self Lord I have died
I’m broken now in my old life
I stop all struggling and strife
Lord, I’ll never be the same,
I limp, yet I have gained a new name.
(Verse 2)
Long the years of constant dealing
Yet my natural life remained
Planning, scheming, self-expressing
Still so full of my old name
Then You touched the strongest sinew
You made a big change in my life
I am broken yet I found You
You’re the strength of my new life
(Pre-Chorus)
I was shattered, I was broken
Now I see you face to face
That sight could ne'er be forgotten
All pride I now abase
(Chorus)
I’ve been wrestling with the One,
Who never leaves, who never runs,
Touch my life, break my pride,
To my self Lord I have died
I’m broken now in my old life
I stop all struggling and strife
Lord, I’ll never be the same,
I limp, yet I have gained a new name.
(Bridge)
Touch my thigh, O Lord, I pray
Deal with me, Lord, have Your way
Let me lean not on my strength
By Your grace I'll go the length
Make my steps forever limped
Proof that I have truly glimpsed
Of Peniel—Your shining face
Brightly beaming full of grace
(Chorus)
I’ve been wrestling with the One,
Who never leaves, who never runs,
Touch my life, break my pride,
To my self Lord I have died
I’m broken now in my old life
I stop all struggling and strife
Lord, I’ll never be the same,
I limp, yet I have gained a new name.
(Outro)
I limp, yet I have gained a new name.
I limp, and I’ll never be the same.
