A Jealous God

Thunder!
How you tear the sky asunder!
Wreak havoc on the world, show us God's anger!
That it would fall to its knees and repent for its wrongdoing.
Dance in the sky with your brother lighting and create the most awesome fear.
The clouds do look over the horizon at God's anger. At his love, do they also fearfully peer.

Complex, the love of the Lord.
As complex as a hundred edged sword.
For his anger is love, a jealous love it is called.
But not that of a negative jealousy, that of a pure jealousy.
That of which a husband has a deep, loving jealousy for his wife.
We understand much more than we believe, but still do not grasp life.

Now I laugh under the black storm's hate anger.
For I do not fear that which cannot harm me.
I am protected by the Lord our God.
His jealousy lies deep within.
Now the battle rages...
