Footprints in the Sand

I can open up my ears and listen to you talk

I can open up my heart and receive everything you have to say

I know I can continue to trust in the words that come from your mouth

While you hold my hand as we walk together

Making footprints in the sand

 

I never doubted what you spoke over me

I never doubted what you held in your hands for me

And though naturally I’ve only seen one set of footprints

I know spiritually there was another set right next to me in the sand

Whenever I felt I was falling

You was there to help me stand

You always remained true to me

And in my darkest nights

You opened my eyes and revealed your light

 

You held me and carried me through when I couldn’t see two

When we would make our footprints in the sand

You promised me that you’ll always be with me

As I make my way treading and conquering this land

 

I trust and believe what you say

When I was lost and didn’t know what else to do

You spoke to my heart and you made a way

I’ve never lost faith in you

I never hardened my heart or closed myself off to you

Instead I softened my heart and let you in

My life wouldn’t be what is without you

That’s why I never drifted away from you

I chose to walk with you making my way in this land

Making footprints in the sand
