“You shall not make for yourself an idol,
Nor bow down and give them adoration,
For I am,” says the Lord, “a jealous God.
I am your groom and you, my love, bridal,
I honour you with endless devotion
And I am,” says the Lord, “a zealous God.”
He does not envy what he does not own.
He does not desire what is not his.
His passion is for us and for our good
“We belong together and us alone.
My love is life and that is what it is,
I share it with you in hope that you would.”
Jealousy’s green eye, adjusted looks odd,
No longer petty envy but our God.
