heard these words from an IHOP Limited Edition CD last fall. it's a bit long as it was from a live set...it lasted about 19 minutes. consider your lover...
the loved: "So, how naive we are, gone astray, not knowing the heart I've broken. Not knowing the wound I've made. with every sin I slay, not knowing the heart I break...not seeing the pain in Your eyes. Oh, it's a wound of a lover. I've cheated on Love. I've gone astray, with every word and compromise...groping in the dark...like the prodigal son I am..."
the Lover: "...'Cause I remember, I remember your first love. I remember when you gave all your heart to Me. When I had all of your affection, I remember. I remember..."
the loved: "...I did not know You felt this way about me. I did not see that sin was such a big thing. It was a list of 'to-do's and don'ts,' exterior. I'm a white-washed tomb, concerned about the image I portray. Did not know these sins were sore in Your side, nails in Your hands, a thorn on Your brow. I did not know. You were a husband. I thought You were a master, but now You are...You are the One who married me..."
the Lover: "...Everything I do, I do for you, My love, My love. Everything I do, I do for you, My love, My love. Everything I do, I do for you, My love. I open My heart over and over and over and over and over again to you. Will you have Me again? 'Cause I will have you again..."
the loved: "...oh I will have You. never seen love like this before. Never. You keep comin' around, knockin' on my door. I've never seen this love before. a little offense, a little hurt that comes my way, my heart, it's closed. I won't open it again, so unforgiving, not a standard of mercy. 'til You keep openin' up Your heart for me, though it's like...at You so many times - a prostitute for money and wine. Still You keep lovin' me. I don't understand, don't understand this love. Won't You sing it again?"
the Lover: "...oh, and all that I do, I do for you, My love. My heart is open. All that I do, I do for you, My love. My heart is open to you. All that I do, I do for you, My love, My heart is open to you. All that I do, I do for you, My love. My heart is forever opened. Do you remember My name? Do you remember My name?"
the loved: "...it's sort of cloudy and dark. I can't see it. It's shinin' in the dark. I can almost see it, believe it, but I'm so down. I'm so blind with shame, this condemnation..."
the Lover: "...Do you remember My name? Say My name! Say My name! Say My name. Remember Me!"
the loved: "...You're the God of 77, enduring mercy. My heart is breaking. I'm so ashamed. I've done it over and over again..."
the Lover: "...say My name. You'll remember how sweet it was to love Me, how sweet is was to know Me..."
the loved: "...but I left You for raisin cakes. I left You for food and water. I left You for nothing..."
the loved: "...so I will return to my First Love, for it was better for me there. I will return to my First Love. Whoa, I will return to my First Love. It was better there. Whoa, I will return to my First Love. Oh, Jealous Jealousy, come lay hold of me! Yeah, Jealous Jealousy, come lay hold of me..."
the Lover: "...if you return..."
the loved: "...Jealous Jealousy, come lay hold of me..."
the Lover: "...remember Me..."
the loved: "...Jealous Jealousy, come lay hold of me..."
the Lover: "...oh, it's the fire in My eyes. It's the fire in My eyes. I'm looking at you. You're the one I want!"
the loved: "...so, I will return to my First Love..."
the Lover: "...Just look into My eyes and remember, 'cause I know you. I formed you. I hedged you in. Mine is a love that will never let you go. Mine is a love that will never let you go..."
the loved: "...even if I try, and I've tried so many times, but Your love is a love that won't let me go, even if I try..."
the Lover: "...I am married to a harlot, but My love will make her pure. I'm married to a harlot, but I will beautify her. I will make her all mine. I will make all things new. Beauty for your ashes. Joy for all of your mourning. Just return..."
the loved: "...and I will return. I'm married to a King, a jealous Flame. Requiring all of me. He won't share me anyone. You want all of my heart. You want all of my thoughts, my soul, my strength and every passion - this is love! a bit intense for me at times. It's like thorns on every side. You hedge me in, then You ask for all of me unto the death. And I'll carry this cross if You give me grace - a jealous husband...''
the Lover: "...isn't My love intense?..." the loved: "...make all things new..."
the Lover: "...isn't My love jealous?! Am I not on fire?! Are My eyes not flames?! I want you! I want you! I'll have you and no other! Give me yourself! It's all that I want! It's all that you can give. It's all that I desire..."
the loved: "...Love me, wash me, make me new. Here I am. Love me, wash me, make me new. Oh, love me, wash me, make me new. So, love me, wash me, make me new. Oh God!...
...Jealous Jealousy, come take over! Take all of me. Yeah! Cause I can't get away, can't get away from Your love. No, I can't get away, can't get away. I can't get away from Your love..."
the Lover: "...from My love..."

the Lover: "...from My love..."
the loved: "...oh, for though I have forgotten You, You have not forgotten. For my name, it's written on the palm of Your hand. It's written on Your heart. Oh, and Your name is Jealous. Yes, our God...is all-consuming fire. Fire is desire. For God is love, and love's a flame, a fire taking over, taking over. For God is love. Love is fire, a burning-like desire. It's burning like desire. And God is love, and Jealous is His name. Jealous Jealousy. He's an all-consuming, all-consuming fire and who...can...dwell...with everlasting burnings?! And who...can...dwell with everlasting burning?! Oh..."
the Lover: "...All that I do, I do for you, My love, My love..."
