Footprints in the Sand
Album: One True God • About NECM
Footprints in the Sand is a comforting reminder that God is closest when life is hardest. Inspired by the familiar image of being carried through suffering, the song reassures listeners that they have not been abandoned in their darkest seasons. It speaks to anyone looking back over trials and realizing that the strength they had was not their own, because the Lord was carrying them all along.
Lyrics
When I'm down and out, feeling all alone When I feel like there's nowhere to go, I remember He says He will always care I remember He says He will always be there When I feel like I have had enough That’s when Jesus will lift me up Then I remember His footprints in the sand. guiding me along the way footprints in the sand pointing me towards a better way When I get tired, He lifts me up and when I think that I’ve had enough I remember footprints in the sand. 4x When I get tired, He lifts me up and when I think that I’ve had enough I remember footprints in the sand My Lord Jesus is within me and our Father too. He says he won't forsake me, and I believe it’s true. He guides me and protect me and shows me what to do Oh, my Lord Jesus please keep me close to you. So, I can see your footprints in the sand guiding me along the way every day Help me see your footprints in the sand pointing me towards a better way When I get tired, He lifts me up and when I think that I’ve had enough I remember footprints in the sand I see footprints in the sand guiding me along the way every day I see footprints in the sand pointing me towards a brighter day When I get tired, He lifts me up and when I think that I’ve had enough I remember his footprints in the sand footprints in the sand. 4x When I get tired, He lifts me up and when I think I can’t I know I can remember His footprints in the sand. Just look around, see for yourself Accept the fact there’s only one way out Believe that Jesus died for your sins When They nailed him to a cross and then He rose again And now he sits at God’s right hand doing all that He can To remind you of His footprints in the sand guiding you along the way every day footprints in the sand pointing you towards a brighter day When you get tired, can He’ll lift you up, when you think you’ve had enough Just remember His footprints in the sand I said remember His footprints in the sand. I see His footprints in the sand. guiding me along the way Yes, I said his footprints in the sand pointing me towards a brighter day When I get tired, He lifts me up and whenever I think I can’t I remember his. footprints in the sand. 4x When I get tired, He lifts me up and when I think I can’t I know i can remember His footprints in the sand. “My precious child” He said to me, if ones set of footprints is all you see Remember when we walked hand in hand, but for now I’ll carry you until you can stand And now I look down and all I can see is one set of footprints as He carries me. now I can see His footprints in the sand carrying me along the way every day I see footprints in the sand pointing me towards a brighter day When I get tired, He lift me up and when I think I can’t he says I can Just remember His footprints in the sand.
