Carried me through

(Verse 1)

I had a dream of a shoreline, walking with the Lord Scenes of my life were passing right before my eyes For every joyous moment I saw two sets of tracks Walking side by side along the shifting, sunny sand But then I looked back at the lonely times, the shadows deep and dark And I only saw one set of prints... in the sand.

(Chorus)

I asked the Lord, "Why did you leave me, when I needed you the most?""When I was sinking in the sorrow, when I was broken, like a ghost? "He whispered, "My precious child, I love you, and I’d never let you fall" "When you only saw one set of footprints... it was then I carried you through it all"

(Verse 2)

The weight of life was heavy, my knees were trembling weak, I couldn't find the words to pray, I couldn't even speak The road was rough and steep, Lord, I couldn't walk another mile But I felt a gentle lifting, and I saw a shining smile Then I looked back at the hardest days, the ones I thought I walked alone There was only one set of prints... in the sand.

(Chorus)

I asked the Lord, "Why did you leave me, when I needed you the most?" "When I was sinking in the sorrow, when I was broken, like a ghost? "He whispered, "My precious child, I love you, and I’d never let you fall" "When you only saw one set of footprints... it was then I carried you through it all".

(Bridge)

I thought I had to be strong, I thought I had to be brave But I didn't know that my weakness, was the very reason that you came You took my burdens, you eased my pain Taught me to trust in both the sunshine and the rain.

(Guitar/Piano Solo - Slow and reflective)

(Chorus)

I asked the Lord, "Why did you leave me, when I needed you the most?" "When I was sinking in the sorrow, when I was broken, like a ghost? "He whispered, "My precious child, I love you, and I’d never let you fall""When you only saw one set of footprints... it was then I carried you through it all."

(Outro)

Yes, you carried me...Through the lowest valleys...When I was weak...You carried me through.

(Fade out)

Only one set of prints... in the sand. You was always there carrying me through

One set of footprints.......

In the sand
