Footprints In The Sand
One night a man had a dream.
He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him and the other to the LORD.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.
This really bothered him, and he questioned the LORD about it.
"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way.
But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why when I needed you most, you would leave me."
The LORD replied: "My son, my precious child, I love you and I would never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."
“Footprints” by Laura Huval
When I’m broken, you mend me / Your words refresh me.
You make each day new.
Oh Lord, you carry me. / Oh Lord, you carry me.
When I’m drowning, you save me. / Your angels surround me.
When I’m in the depths of despair, Oh Lord, You carry.
You carry me through the storm
You shelter me from all harm
In the footprints I see
You were always carrying me
You will always carry me
When I’m empty, You fill me
Your mercy finds me.
When I think I can’t go on, Oh Lord, you carry me.
Chorus
You lift me up, high above. You lift me up, high above. You lift me up, high above.
“I Can Only Imagine” by MercyMe I can only imagine / What it will be like
When I walk by your side
I can only imagine / What my eyes would see
When your face is before me
I can only imagine / I can only imagine, yeah Surrounded by your glory / What will my heart feel
Will I dance for you Jesus / Or in awe of You be still
Will I stand in your presence / To my knees will I fall
Will I sing hallelujah / Will I be able to speak at all
I can only imagine / I can only imagine / I can only imagine When that day comes
And I find myself / Standing in the sun
I can only imagine
When all I will do / Is forever, forever worship you
I can only imagine / I can only imagine Surrounded by your glory / What will my heart feel
Will I dance for you Jesus / Or in awe of You be still
Will I stand in your presence / Or to my knees will I fall
Will I sing hallelujah / Will I be able to speak at all
I can only imagine, yeah / I can only imagine Surrounded by your glory / What will my heart feel
Will I dance for you Jesus / Or in awe of You be still
Will I stand in your presence / Or to my knees will I fall
Will I sing hallelujah / Will I be able to speak at all
I can only imagine yeah / I can only imagine yeah yeah / I can only imagine yeah yeah
I can only imagine / I can only imagine yeah yeah I can only imagine / I can only imagine When all I will do / Is forever, forever worship you / I can only imagine “At the Cross” by Chris Tomlin
There's a place / Where mercy reigns / And never dies
There's a place / Where streams of grace / Flow deep and wide
Where all the love / I've ever found / Comes like a flood / Comes flowing down
At the cross, at the cross / I surrender my life
I'm in awe of You / I'm in awe of You
Where Your love ran red / And my sin washed white
I owe all to You / I owe all to You, Jesus
There's a place / Where sin and shame / Are powerless
Where my heart / Has peace with God / And forgiveness
Where all the love / I've ever found / Comes like a flood / Comes flowing down
At the cross, at the cross / I surrender my life
I'm in awe of You / I'm in awe of You
Where Your love ran red / And my sin washed white
I owe all to You / I owe all to You
Here my hope is found / Here on holy ground
Here I bow down / Here I bow down Here arms open wide / Here You save my life
Here I bow down / Here I bow down
At the cross, at the cross / I surrender my life
I'm in awe of You / I'm in awe of You
Where Your love ran red / And my sin washed white
I owe all to You / I owe all to You / I owe all to You / I owe all to You
Jesus (oh)
Where Your love ran red / Your love ran red
