Footprints - Matt Hammitt

Oh, it’s amazing, flipping these pages

What’s happened through all these years

Down in the basement, looking through the ages

I can see it so clear

Things from this old house

Really mean something now

Like that poem that I used to hear

Hanging 'round everywhere

I used to write it off

Just a picture on the wall

But now that I’ve lived some life

Been through some bitter times

I can understand

That one set of footprints in the sand

Oh, those lonely roads that I walked

Sleepless nights that I thought

I was on my own

But those footprints behind me

They tell the story

You carried me all along

Things aren’t what they seem

Sometimes there’s more than what we see

Like that poem that I used to hear

Hanging 'round everywhere

I used to write it off

Just a picture on the wall

But now that I’ve lived some life

Been through some bitter times

I can understand

That one set of footprints in the sand

And when I stop to look back

I can see Your faithfulness

Written in the prints that You leave

You are more than here with me

Oh, Lord, You carry me

You are my strength when I’m weak

I see what’s ahead of me

When I look back

At that poem that I used to hear

I saw it everywhere

I used to write it off

Now it’s hanging on my wall

I still have some life to live

One thing, I’m sure of it

You’ll be with me to the end

And I see that one set of Your footprints again

You carry me, You carry me

So I can rest, I can rest

You carry me, You carry me

So I can rest, I can rest

You carry me, You carry me

So I can rest, I can rest

You carry me, You carry me

So I can rest, I can rest
