Joshua Leventhal - Jealous Lyrics

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
