P
let me tell you about jealousy
for years id been plagued
coveting this , seeking that
now laughing with God as we look back.
oh my dis temper
oh my how I raged
oh how I was frustrated
oh how I love god plagued me this way
what I couldn't see for so long
is now but a beautiful story
God means what he says
He will trade no idol for His Glory
Behold I have seen the face of jealousy
yes before me now He stands
and that jealousy stirring in me?
was "my lack" of His first command
"Love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart, with all thy soul and with all thy strength"
all that time ,all that frustration
yes it is God whose affection is for our attention
not to bring us harm
or perilous despair
but a love so deep
no other can compare
let me tell you about jealousy
I can speak coming from that place
there is one who burns for us
and Almighty God is His name
is jealousy a problem?
i turned around and saw eyes with flames upon my back
not eyes to come hammering down on me
but a powerful love looking upon my soul that was in lack
you see god wasn't looking at my outer appearance
He was looking into the heart of this very man
and when i found myself looking away from Him?
THIS my soul finally came to understand
It was the heat from eyes of love rising within
guiding my soul to turn around and return back to Him.
in time the intensity calmed
in time the rage ceased
it wasn't the beam in my brothers eye blinding me
it was my own soul screaming " I'm imprisoned, come set this captive free!!"
oh I can talk about jealousy alright
44 years in this wilderness I've walked
In my own stupidity and blindness
it took my own soul to finally squawk!
blaming my brother tirelessly
for not walking out my own walk.
I asked God to please come and guide me
i was at my witts end, i was definitely lost!
It was there he came and got me
and now with God i calmly walk.
Remembering tolean not onto my own understanding
but lean on and trust in Him.
who is all seeing and all knowing
in His light nothings dim
jealousy is before me
God almighty is His name
never turning , never wavering
His trueness always the same
the one who burns with great love for us
His heart forever true
thank you God for redeeming me
and thank you for being true
