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
