I dreamed I was walking
along the beach with the Lord.
Across the sky flashed scenes from
my life.
For each scene,
I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand:
For each scene,
I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand:
one belonged to me, the other to the Lord.
After the last scene of my life
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
I noticed that at many times
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
But I noticed
that during the saddest
there was only one set of
footprints.
I don't understand why,
I don't understand why,
when I needed You the most,
You would leave me."
The Lord replied,
The Lord replied,
"My son, my precious child,
I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of suffering,
During your times of suffering,
when you could see
only one set of footprints,
It was then that I carried
you."
He gave me strength
To face the coming day.
At times I felt alone
I was never on my own.
Someday I’ll understand
Footprints in the sand.
