I was going through my ipod to try and find something to listen to and thought I would shuffle all the songs by Jars of Clay.  I hadn't listened to them in a really long time, after a couple of songs "Jealous Kind" came on which made me pause and think.  This song is so good and it reminds me of how much God loves me and how much he hates sin.  It is such an insult for us to chose sin over Jesus who loves us so much.  Here are the lyrics, also here is the song from last.fm take a listen.
"Jealous Kind" by Jars of Clay
  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
 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
 Hanging ropes will never keep you
 And your love of a jealous kind
 Love of a jealous kind
 
 Trying 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 to be broken by a lover I don't understand
 'Cause I don't understand
 
 One hundred other lovers, more, one hundred other altars
 If I should slow my pace and finally subject me to grace
 And love that shames the wise, betrays the heart's deceit and lies
 And breaks the back of foolish pride
