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.
