Jealous

How sweetly You speak to Your own With patience You wait for Your bride Our adulterous hearts leave Your light for our dark We forsake Your longing eyes Late have we learned to love Prone to leave are these wandering feet Our hearts ready to run, we're the prodigal sons Yet you beckon us home for a feast You're jealous, You're jealous, You're jealous for us You're jealous, You're jealous, You're jealous for us You pursue without rest, You will not give up 'Til Your bride has yielded to love Giver of every good thing You give chase in our wandering Your devotion is fierce in our weakness and tears Over our wayward hearts You will sing Your hatred of idols is just It merits the shedding of blood At the Cross Your Son showed as He ransomed our souls The extent of Your wrath and Your love You're jealous, You're jealous, You're jealous for us You're jealous, You're jealous, You're jealous for us You're jealous, You're jealous, You're jealous for us You're jealous, You're jealous, You're jealous for us You take all of our sin and kill it with love And say, let this love be enough O let this love be enough O let this love be enough And we will not be mistressed to another You have claimed Your bride and You're a jealous Lover And we will not be mistressed to another You have claimed Your bride and You're a jealous Lover You're jealous, You're jealous, You're jealous for us You're jealous, You're jealous, You're jealous for us You're jealous, You're jealous, You're jealous for us You're jealous, You're jealous, You're jealous for us You pursue without rest, You will not give up 'Til Your bride has yielded to love 'Til Your bride has yielded to love --- Jealous - Joshua Leventhal
