The Jacob HourConsumed with the fervor of the day
In my children's room I knelt alone

My mortal sins, O there to cast away

Festively playing in the clouds

unprepared for the day rhythm about to occur.
Before day unfolds, I need release trials my wake holds.
Being still, I focus until suppliant, in quiet, ever reliant.

Delighted Soulthe delighted soul in beauteous suppliant
pill owed by sacred vows

That God does not keep with me again
