Jealousy is an evil beast
From my soul, it takes its feast
From my eyes, it steals my tears
From my heart, it brings forth fears
It follows me all my life
A bitter shadow bringing strife
Every time, I need it the least
Then it comes, this malicious beast
He comes between relationships
He lashes my mind with silken whips
He teaches me to hate myself
Into my heart, he creeps with stealth
The regret, hatred, all that guilt
From within, a wall is built
Black envy-made bricks, my heart hardens
Yet my soul, all the same, cries for pardon
But then it all is still
The poison doesn't kill
There in my heart, where a small break was
A beam of light shines through, it does
Crackles and tears, what beauty lies there
The beast flees! No burden for me to bear
For my Savior came to me
Within my heart, he'll always be
Never letting me be destroyed in the least
From Satan's pet, his Jealousy Beast
