Saints Aflame - Jacob's Dream Lyrics

There's a man on a journey, he stopped for the night
A stone as a pillow, he was sleeping so tight
In his dream there's a ladder from the ground to the sky
A stairway of angels reaching God's highest high
Angels ascending on the Son of Man
The bridge to the heavens in God's eternal plan
Jacob's dream of the ladder on that mystical night
Was a shadow of Christ, our eternal light
In the sky there's a vision of the God of Abraham
He speaks the words of promise, blessings by mighty hand
"I never will forsake you, wherever you may be
My promise to your fathers through all eternity."
Angels ascending on the Son of Man
The bridge to the heavens in God's eternal plan
Jacob's dream of the ladder on that mystical night
Was a shadow of Christ, our eternal light
Waking up Jacob thought: "This is the place of Lord
How awesome is this spot, this is the house of God!"
He made a monument with oil on stone to pour
And named the city Bethel, for now and evermore
Jacob prayed his father's God for blessing and protection
The pillar stands reminding all of this divine connection
Angels ascending on the Son of Man
The bridge to the heavens in God's eternal plan
Jacob's dream of the ladder on that mystical night
Was a shadow of Christ, our eternal light
Angels ascending on the Son of Man
The bridge to the heavens in God's eternal plan
Jacob's dream of the ladder on that mystical night
Was a shadow of Christ, our eternal light
A shadow of Christ
A shadow of Christ
A shadow of Christ
