Snares

I fell in a trap, that was set for me. along life's path which I did not see.
had my eyes been on Jesus, the one who can guide,
the snare set by satan, I would have spied.

but my eyes were on me and which way I could take,
while focusing on self, I didn't see the snake.

be careful where you look while traveling through,
you may not see the enemy, but he can see you.
