One night I dreamed of walking along the shores of different lands.
Am Em F G
I could tell that You were with me by the footprints in the sand.
C Em F G
As I gazed upon the heavens, I saw pages of my life.
Am Em F G
It was then I realized that You remained there by my side.
Am Em F G
When the clouds began to gather and the rains came falling down,
Am Em F G
I looked to only find one set of footprints on the ground.

I said, "Lord, why did You leave me in the troubled times of life?

I believed that You would always walk beside me day and night." (Then I heard:)

"My precious child, I'd never leave you.

It's then I carried you in My arms,

When you see one set of footprints in the sand"

Dear Lord, will You be with me as I travel through the years?
Am Em F G
Will You be there in the struggles? Will You wipe away the tears?

As my eyes turn toward the ocean and the shores of distant lands,
