A Jealous Thread Had Filled My Heart

A Jealous Thread Had filled my Heart

by Effie Darlene Barba

 

A jealous thread had filled my heart

That from God’s truth I did depart

So, blinded by my thoughts of me

His love no longer could I see

 

Forgotten was the truth of grace

No longer could I see His face

Nor understand His plan for me

Was forged by Him to set me free

 

Desiring then His plan for her

His love for me became a blur

How could He love her more than me?

While sorrow then became my plea

 

His patient, gentle love then held

Unto my heart, though I rebelled

The flames of anger rose in me

Only His truth could set me free

 

Twas there He reached into my heart

To wash my sin, His love impart

His plan designed was best for me

Wrought from His love eternally

 

The trials that my life had faced

Had brought me low, til I embraced

Him as the only hope for me

The only treasure I could see

 

His love and grace there did abound

And overflow with joyous sound

His glory reaching forth to me

And point me to that rugged tree

 

On which He died that I might be

His precious love eternally

He’d planned the perfect life for me

That I might love with purity

 

He broke the chains that held me tight

The jealous threads that bound my night

Then filled me with His Love for me

Opened my eyes His heart to see

 

Amazing Grace! My Sovereign King

Had filled my heart with joy to sing

His plan had been His best for me

To learn to love with purity
