lyrics

Jealous
by Emily Riddle

I am the Judge
and I hold justice in My hand
I am the King
and My people don't go hungry
I am the Maker
and idolatry makes Me angry
and I am jealous
I am jealous for your attention

I could have anything I want to
oh but I want you
Yes I want you My Bride
You took one step to Me
I took two towards you
But I guess it seemed to you like eight
'cause it scared You away
I want you because I love you
Why can't you just return the affection
Affection that is bursting out of Me
I made you for only Me but it seems to be that
you have found others
And it's made Me very jealous
Oh I'm so very jealous

Darling why wont you speak to Me
Oh please just speak to Me
I love Your voice
It's not that I need you
It's just that I made your hands so soft
So I could hold them
up against My face
You and Me it's plain to see that
we've got some sort of chemistry
if we could only try it out

Oh dear can't you see I'm longing for you
to look My way
Just glance My way
I gave so much to you and I'll give you so much more
Just speak My name
because i want to be famous
in your eyes

I am the Judge
and I hold justice in My hand
I am the King
and My people don't go hungry
I am the Maker
and idolatry makes Me angry
and I am jealous
I am jealous for your attention
