Footprints in the sand

Appear all over the land

They reveal yesterday and today

How God made a way

Things He set in stone

Why He never leaves us alone

They show the new dreams

That make us burst at the seams

The brand new home

Where our souls roam

How we hang on God’s word

Cause it’s all we’ve heard

Why love is the way

We live every day

Why we always smile

Even laugh a little while

They show the place

Where we run our race

The things we ignore

As God fills us to the core

And they reveal the strength we gain

Through heartache and pain

Footprints in the sand

Appear all over the land

They keep us going

All while knowing

God has a plan

He’ll reveal when He can

They remove our fear

Let us know God is always near

They show faith is the key

To what’s meant to be

They show our solid ground

All the joy we’ve found

They reveal our purpose

Before it rises to the surface

They show God’s guidance and direction

As well as protection

They show what we hold

Why our story will be told

And how we learn to stand

When we see footprints in the sand
