Maverick City Music and Kirk Franklin's 'Jealous' features Chandler Moore and Lizzie Morgan in a worship song that explores God's passionate, protective love for His people. The lyrics use the metaphor of jealousy to describe God's desire for exclusive devotion, comparing straying from Him to adultery. The song emphasizes that God's jealousy stems from love, not insecurity, and that His 'no' and 'yes' are both expressions of love. It reassures listeners that God will not let go of them, drawing from biblical imagery of God as a jealous God who wants intimacy with His bride, the church.

It breaks Your heart
When You see me dancing with the enemy
Yes, it breaks Your heart
When You see Your bride in adultery
You were meant to be my only one
You are a jealous God
You are jealous for me
You are a jealous God
You are jealous for me
You love me
You love me
You know my heart
How easily it wanders when I look away
But You have my heart
And there's no competition when it comes to You
You were meant to be my only one
'Cause You are a jealous God
You are jealous for me
You are a jealous God
You are jealous for me
Oh, You are a jealous God
You are jealous for me
Yes. You are a jealous God
You are jealous for me
You just wanna be close
Just wanna be intimate
With Your bride and
You just wanna be close
You don't want anything
Drawing me from
You just wanna be close
Just wanna be intimate
With Your bride and
You just wanna be close
You don't want anything
Drawing me from
You just wanna be close
Just wanna be intimate
With Your bride and
And You just wanna be close
You don't want anything
Drawing me from
You are a jealous God
You are jealous for me
You are a jealous God
You are jealous for me
You love me
You love me
Yes. You love me
Oh, You love me
How You love
How You love me
How You love
How You love me
I see it now
How You love me
Yes. You love me
I see it
How You love me
Yes. You love me
I see it now
I see it now
I see it now
I see it now
Your "No" is love
Your "Yes" is love
Your "No" is love
Your "Yes" is love
I see it now
I see it clear now
Your "No" is love
Your "Yes" is love
Your "No" is love
Your "Yes" is love
You won't let go
You won't let go
You won't let go
You won't let go
You won't let go
You won't let go
You won't let go
You won't let go
You won't let go
You won't let go
You won't let go
You won't let go
Because You are a jealous God
You are jealous for me
Father, You are a jealous God
You are jealous for me
You are a jealous God
You are jealous for me
I see it now
You are a jealous God
You are jealous for me
