So often when the world bears down on us with its troubles we feel like we are carrying the whole load by ourselves. We feel all alone and don't know how we'll make it through another day. God is with us always.

Footrpints
Michael Cape

V1
There will be trials in this life when things don’t go as planned
This old world is closing in and it’s getting hard to stand
Sometimes you feel all alone and you know you need someone
Sometimes you feel like crying, stop the world I want to get off

Chorus
When you feel you’re all alone,
He’s got you in His hands
It’s one of those days when there’s just one set of Footprints in the sand
When you know you need someone,
He’ll carry you in hand
It’s one of those days when there just one set of Footprints in the sand

V2
When you feel that all is lost and your heart cries out in pain
He can help you bear that cross He can make you whole again
You know this world wants to crush you and tear your soul away
Make you think that you just can’t make it thru one more day



2nd Chorus
So when you feel you can’t go on
You’re still securely in His hands
It’s one of those days when there’s just one set of Footprints in the sand
When you think you’re all alone He’s the best friend you can have
It’s one of those days when there’s just one set of Footprints in the sand

Bdg
He’ll never leave you
Sometimes He seems to hide
Lift up your heart invite Him in You’ll find Him standing right by your side

End Chorus
Just one set of Footprints in the sand
Just one set of Footprints in the sand

V3
When the world looms big and dark
It still must wait for His command
Its one of those days when there’s
Just one set of Footprints in the sand
