The Snare

Everything is so complex

With layers on layers of pain
Some days I just want to give up
And run from all the stress and strain.
 
But I can never get away,
I’m trapped in my despair.
And even if I tried to run
I’d never escape from the snare.
 
So I must find the faith to fight,
To break free from each bitter strand.
For, as long as they bind me fast,
I cannot reach out for God’s hand.

Psalm 25:15

My eyes are ever on the Lord, for only he will release my feet from the snare.
