tearing the snares

tearing the snares

the webs that hold us

invisible string

anchors of sorrow

that pulls and binds us

tearing the snares

the demons of evil

weights on our hearts

denying tomorrow

Habakkuk 3:17-19 (NIV)

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Habakkuk+3%3A17-19&version=NIV
¹⁷ Though the fig tree does not bud
    and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
    and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen
    and no cattle in the stalls,
¹⁸ yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
    I will be joyful in God my Savior.

¹⁹ The Sovereign Lord is my strength;
    he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
    he enables me to tread on the heights.”

Habakkuk 3:17-19 (rewritten by me)

17 Though the mills may be shuttered

and the forests are empty,

though the fields do not provide

their bounty, their harvest,

though the young are departing

for greener pastures,

18 yet I rejoice in my God

I will be joyful in Christ my Savior.

19 The Creator of the universe is my rock

I am like the deer, its hooves

steady on the Mountain.
