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
