Jesus Be a Fence Around Me

God built a fence around me

that I cannot climb over,

and he chained me down.

Even when I shouted

and prayed for help,

he refused to listen.

God put big rocks in my way

and made me follow

a crooked path.

God was like a bear or a lion

waiting in ambush for me;

he dragged me from the road,

then tore me to shreds.[a]

God took careful aim

and shot his arrows

straight through my heart.

Lamentations 3:7-13
