My Jealous Fear

 

As my kingdom slips away

The prophets lips have spoken

Fear is taking over

And everything is broken

 

And I clench my fist in anger

I cannot hold the crown

Even in my greatest dreams

I keep losing the throne

 

Chorus:

“Saul has struck down his thousands

And we celebrate 

But 10,000 are struck down by David

And His name is great

What more can he have,   

What more can he have

but the kingdom

Now all I have left

Is my jealous fear

 

I looked for one just like me

Cried out for an earthly king

I was a fearful created being

When I rejected You

 

And Saul fell like Lucifer

But David rose like Christ

My true King and Warrior

The way, the truth the  life

 

bridge

Let me serve only You

And see through Your eyes

By Your Word and Spirit 

You can give me wisdom

To serve only You

In Your love and mercy 

For every false way, every wrong turn,  I’ve been following, I’ve been trying 

Please forgive me, please forgive me

 

all I have left, all I have left, jealous fear
