Lyrics
[Verse]
There was a time that I thought
The God had left me all alone
When I couldn’t hear his voice
And tried to do it on my own
I’d cry out to him at night
And search for him by day
Lord Jesus tell me why
Is my life going this way
Then one night I had a dream
That I saw Jesus face-to-face
When all my sins had been made clean
And the pain had been erased
We were walking on the shore
And I saw footprints in the sand
One pair would come and go
Then he took me by the hand (and said)
[Chorus]
I’ll walk beside you for a while
Till you can stand on your own
Let my teachings be your guide
And You’ll never be alone
Though you didn’t understand
At the moment what to do
That pair of footprints in the sand
Are the times I carried you
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
Looking back now I can see
It was his all sufficient grace
That came and set this captive free
And gave me strength to run this race
So if I start to forget
That God’s love for me is true
I can look back and see
What He has carried me through
[Chorus]
I’ll walk beside you for a while
Till you can stand on your own
Let my teachings be your guide
And You’ll never be alone
Though you didn’t understand
At the moment what to do
That pair of footprints in the sand
Are the times I carried you
[Instrumental]
Though you didn’t understand
At the moment what to do
That pair of footprints in the sand
Are the times I carried you
