Jealous the jealous God

Oh why am I still hurting

Isn't it past the hour of pain?

Hell is only temporary

Til He rids you of all shame!

 

I stepped into Your room

Try to relive Your relieving

To rid me of my gloom

Try to receive Your revealing

 

Jealous the jealous God

I seek restless for Your love

Mine eyes grow tired and weary

Jealous the jealous God

 

Jealous the jealous God

I drown helpless in Your flood

I thirst scarcely for Your mercy

Jealous the jealous God

 

Why is the world so empty

Yet weighs millions o' pounds?

Where lies pile up aplenty

To keep the lost from being found

 

Why is deception

Like form of education

Setting false foundations

Corrupting His creation

As lies disguise damnation

For a paper-clad salvation

Sending ill vibrations

To the youth of all the nations

 

I wonder how much am I missing, o God?

A wonder even the universe cannot contain

Translated and made compatible in a human's brain.

Soulless animals kiss the land

In honor of the One

Who was, who is and is to come

Who dares their doubt expand

In disbelief blot out the sun

Jealous the jealous God

Soulless animals indeed we have become
