Desperation

Single women need to move on from marriage desperation

Oh, you know I'm going there

Marriage desperation will lead to compromise and deceit

Never seen so many professing, sanctified

Saints scheming and compromising in my life

We all, well, some of us are familiar with the story

Of Jacob, how he fell in love with beautiful Rachel

Worked 7 years, for Rachel

And what happened on the wedding night?

Laban, the father, pulled a fast one on Jacob

'Cause see, Jacob didn't already know Rachel's

Body so he wasn't able to tell the difference

But wait a minute, this ain't that big, and it's bigger now, and

So Jacob was just so happy after 7 years

But in the morning, when he rolled over

He saw, not Rachel, but Leah

And the word says she was tender eyed and tender

Defined by Webster, one definition is to be physically weak

So theologians say she had some eye problems

So when he rolled over, he said "Good God!"

Now I'm gonna, I'm gonna go to my point

About desperation and compromise and deceit

We, we love to expound on how terrible it was for

Uh, Laban to fool Jacob like that after 7 years

That was wrong, he was just wrong, y'all, he was wrong

And Jacob was saying "I was robbed, y'all, I was robbed"

But nowhere in scripture does it show that Leah resisted

If you find it, show it to me

Might be in the lost books, but not in the 66 books

She was the eldest, she saw her opportunity

We know that they were submissive to parents

But she, nowhere did she even voice an objection

Not even when it came time to do the do

Her weak eyes didn't keep her from seeing

Jacob as a desirable man to scheme for
