Footprints

Footprints appear in the sand

They appear all over the land

They show the journey

Meant for us only

They reveal the purpose

Lying at the surface

They give us strength

As we talk at length

They fill every soul

They make life whole

They build dreams

That make us burst at the seams

They rest in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

They travel far

While healing every scar

They reveal what’s in stone

Why God never leaves us alone

They rest in a home

Where our souls can roam

They are the blessings granted

All the seeds we’ve planted

And they help us smile

Even laugh a little while

Footprints appear among us

In God we trust

They show what we’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

They fill us to the core

Before God offers us more

They plant seeds

That lead to good deeds

They change our view

After showing what God can do

They offer moments of pleasure

Beyond all measure

They help us see

What’s meant to be

They help us stand

As we hold God’s hand

They reveal who we are

As we reach for a star

They keep us going

All while knowing

We move without fear

Cause God almighty is near

Footprints

Men Say

I hear men say

They cherish their days

All of God’s loving ways

Moments with family and friends

They know love never ends

That their life lessons

Are now heartfelt confessions

That their souls are free

They know what’s meant to be

That they get much stronger

As their days get longer

That they know God is there

With tender loving care

They know what to ignore

As God fills them to the core

They hang on God’s word

Cause that’s all they’ve heard

That they relish the peace

Their hearts won’t release

Faith turned them around

Put them on solid ground

They build dreams

Until they burst at the seams

And they have a treasure

They cherish beyond measure

I hear men say

They hold their faith close

Cause faith matters most

They fall and rise again

But faith helps them win

They have something pure

They feel safe and secure

They pass every test

Just like all the rest

They look straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Knowing God set their path

Without unleashing His wrath

They’ve let go

Of things they used to know

They remember who they are

As they reach for a star

And they rest in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

I hear men say

The Journey

We walk down a winding road

As God shares the load

We marvel at what we find

Then God offers us peace of mind

We get much stronger

As our trip gets longer

We build as we go

We share what we know

We embrace life lessons

That become heartfelt confessions

We start life anew

We see what God can do

We build new dreams

That make us burst at the seams

We ignore our naysayers

As we say our prayers

God reveals our purpose

Before it rises to the surface

We hang on the encouraging word

We’ve always heard

We learn to stand

As we hold God’s hand

We count the blessings granted

We water the seeds we planted

We learn to give as good as we get

With very little regret

We enjoy every moment of pleasure

Beyond all measure

We lift one voice

As we begin to rejoice

We run our race

In a very special place

We remove all doubt

That God will work things out

We share a smile

We laugh a little while

We know what we hold

As our story is told

We stand on solid ground

We share the joy we found

We begin again

Knowing faith will win

The moment is for us only

The journey

When You Hold Me

When you hold me

I can get through the day

As I accept God’s way

I feel something pure

I feel safe and secure

I gain a renewed strength

As we talk at length

I know I can stand

With one touch of your hand

I find a treasure

I can cherish beyond measure

I feel nothing but love

Coming from heaven above

I can see what’s real

Too difficult to conceal

I feel your heartbeat

Right where our souls meet

You fill my soul

You make me whole

I know I can dream

Strange though it may seem

I see what’s in stone

I know I’m not alone

And we plant seeds

That lead to good deeds

When you hold me

I feel like morning dew

Every day is brand new

I look in your eyes

And find a wonderful surprise

I have everything I need

I have a blessing indeed

I can give as good as I get

With very little regret

I feel God’s glory

As He tells our story

I can clearly see

Love is meant to be

I can look straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Knowing this journey

Was meant for two only

I can see my destiny

When you hold me
