One night a man had a dream
He dreamed he was walking
along the beach
With the Lord.
Scenes from his life flashed
across the sky and he noticed
Two sets of footprints in the sand,
One belongin to him and the other
to the Lord.
When the last scene of his life
had flashed before him,
He recalled that at the lowest
and saddest times of his life
There was only one set of footprints.
Dismayed, he asked, "Lord, you said that once..
I decided to follow you,
you'd walk with me all the way.
Why at the troublesome times of my life
The times I needed you most,
you would leave me."
The Lord replied, "My precious child,
I love you and I would never, never leave you.
During your times of trial and suffering
When you saw only one set of footprints
That was.. when I carried you."
