One night I dreamed a dream.
As I was walking along the beach
with my Lord.
Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene,
I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand,
One belonging to me
and one to my Lord.
After the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that at many times
along the path of my life,
especially at the very lowest and saddest times,
there was only one set of footprints.
This really troubled me,
so I asked the Lord about it.
"Lord, you said once I decided to follow you,
You'd walk with me all the way.
But I noticed that during the saddest
and most troublesome times of my life,
and most troublesome times of my life,
there was only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why,
when I needed You the most,
You would leave me."
He whispered, "My precious child,
I love you and will never leave you
Never, ever, during your trials and testings.
When you saw only one set of footprints,
GOD CARES
Come to me,
all of you who are weary
and carry heavy burdens,
and I will give you rest.
" - Matthew 11:28. "
*********
You walked with me
Footprints in the sand
And helped me understand
Where I'm going
You walked with me
When I was all alone
With so much unknown
Along the way
I heard you say
I promise you
I'm always there
When your heart is filled
with sorrow
And despair
And I'll carry you
When you need a friend
You'll find my footprints
in the sand
I see my life
Flash across the sky
So many times have I
Been so afraid
And just when I
Thought I lost my way
You gave me strength to carry on
Thats when I heard you say
I promise you
I'm always there
When your heart is filled with
sorrow and despair
And I'll carry you
When you need a friend
You'll find my footprints
in the sand
When I'm weary
Well I know you'll be there
And I can feel you
When you say
I promise you
I'm always there
When your heart is filled with
sadness and despair
And I'll carry you
When you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand
When your heart is full of
sadness and despair
And I'll carry you
When you need a friend
You'll find my footprints in the sand
