100 other lovers, more, 100 other altars

I built another temple to a stranger
I gave away my heart to the rushing wind
I set my course to run right into danger
Sought the company of fools instead of friends

You know I've been unfaithful, with lovers in lines
While You're turning over tables with the rage of a jealous kind
I chose the gallows to the aisle, thought that love would never find...
But hanging ropes will never keep You
and Your love of a jealous kind
Love of a jealous kind...

Try to jump away from Rock that keeps on spreading
For solace in the shift of the sinking sand
I'd rather feel the pain all too familiar
Than be broken by a Lover I don't understand...
Cause I don't understand...

You know I've been unfaithful, with lovers in lines
While You're turning over tables with the rage of a jealous kind
I chose the gallows to the aisle, thought that love would never find...
But hanging ropes will never keep You
and Your love of a jealous kind
Love of a jealous kind...
Love of a jealous kind
Love of a jealous kind

....... mmmmm One hundred other lovers
More, one hundred other altars
If I should slow my pace, finally subject me to grace
and Love that shames the wise
betrays the heart's deceit and lies
breaks the back of foolish pride
ohhhhhhhhh you know I've been unfaithful
with lovers in lines
while You're turning over tables with the rage of a jealous kind...
I chose the gallows to the aisle
Thought that love would never find
But hanging ropes will never keep You
and Your love of a jealous kind...
Your love of a jealous kind, oh, your love of a jealous kind

(This is not a Jesus-is-my-girlfriend song. It's really about Him :)
