Footprints In The Sand

One night I dreamed of walking

Along the shores of different lands

I could tell that

You were with me by the footprints in the sand

As I gazed upon the heavens,

I saw pages of my life.

It was then I realized that

You remained there by my side

When the clouds began to gather

And the rains came falling down

I looked to only find one

Set of footprints on the ground

I said, "Lord, why did You leave me in the

Troubled times of life?

I believed that

You would always walk beside me day and night."

"My precious child,

I'd never leave you.

I have carved you on the

Hollow of My hand.

It's then I

Carried you in My arms,

When you see one set

Of footprints in the sand"

Dear Lord, will You be with

Me as I travel through the years?

Will You be there in the struggles?

Will You wipe away the tears?

As my eyes turn toward the ocean

And the shores of distant lands,

I'm still thinking of the

Single set of footprints in the sand

Will I hear the angels singing,

As my life comes to an end.

Oh Lord, I long to see You.

Will You be there once again?

My eyes turn toward the heavens,

Along the path of foreign lands,

Once more, I'm thinking of the set

Of footprints in the sand.
