The Snares of Life

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I found myself ensnared by life,

My worries hemmed me in.
I feared that I could not escape,
That my worst fears would win.
 
So I raised up a cry to him
Whose love has never failed.
In times now past, when I cried out,
His strength always prevailed.
 
And yet again he heard my voice,
He swiftly answered me.
Although the snares still wind about
His love has set me free.
 
Psalm 18: 5-6
5 The cords of the grave coiled around me; the snares of death confronted me.
6 In my distress I called to the Lord; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears.
