Elyssa Smith's 'Jealous' is a worship song that presents God speaking in first person, expressing His passionate love and pursuit of humanity. The lyrics describe God leaving His throne to bring the listener home, dying on the cross, and rising from the grave. The repeated invitation to 'come touch my hands and side' echoes the post-resurrection appearance of Jesus to Thomas. The song emphasizes God's jealous love that burns for His people, His sacrifice, and the empty tomb, making it a powerful declaration of God's relentless affection and the victory of the resurrection.

I remember the day

When you hid your face

And my heart began to ache

Oh, how I love you


So I left my throne

Just to bring you home

How I want you close

Oh, how I love you


I?m jealous, I?m jealous for you

My heart it burns for you

I came, I died, I gave my life

?Cause my heart it burns for you


Hear me call your name

Now you have a place

I don?t see your shame

Oh, how I love you, Oh, how I love you


?Cause I?m jealous, I?m jealous for you

My heart it burns for you

I came, I died, I gave my life

?Cause my heart it burns for you


I came, I died, I gave my life

?Cause my heart it burns for you


Come touch my hands

Come touch my side

I?ll show you where they laid me

You?ll see the grave is empty


Come touch my hands

Come touch my side

I?ll show you where they laid me

You?ll see the grave is empty


Come touch my hands

Come touch my side

I?ll show you where they laid me

You?ll see the grave is empty


Come touch my hands

Come touch my side

I?ll show you where they laid me

You?ll see the grave is empty


?Cause I?m jealous, I?m jealous for you

My heart it burns for you

I came, I died, I gave my life

?Cause I?m jealous, I?m jealous for you

My heart it burns for you

I came, I died, I gave my life

My heart it burns for you


Come touch my hands

Come touch my side

I?ll show you where they laid me

You?ll see the grave is empty


I?m jealous, I?m jealous for you

My heart it burns for you

I came, I died, I gave my life

?Cause my heart it burns for you
