Verse 1

One night I awoke from a troubled sleep. A dream that was all, all to real
Walking along the beach with the Lord, scenes of my life flashed across the sky
I left a path of joy and sorrow behind. Looking back I felt the Lord left me alone.

Chorus 1

CHORUS
Footprints in the sand, I see two, then only one. Footprints in the sand.

Verse 2

Living my life through good times and in bad, stumbled many times, along the way
Discouraged, saddened, and feeling low, I continued to follow the path of the Lord
For I knew of God’s promise to me. He promised me, he would always be there.

Chorus 2

Footprints in the sand I see two, then only one, what does it all mean?

Bridge

"My precious child," Replied the Lord "take a closer look and you will understand.
Through troubled times I’ve kept my promise to you.
Take another look at the footprints in the sand.
It was I who carried you through troubled times,
I love you, I would never leave you alone!"

Chorus 3

Footprints in the sand I saw two, then only one, now I know what it all means!
Footprints in the sand, footprints in the sand
Footprints in the sand, footprints in the sand
