footprints in the sand

Leona Lewis - Footprints in the Sand


One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand. One belonging to him and the other to the Lord.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times of his life. This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it:

"Lord, You said that once I decided to follow You, You'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed You most You would leave me."

The Lord replied:

"My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you."

- Carolyn Carty, 1963

Pieces of History
  • when it all comes crumbling down
  • the backstroke of the west
  • in His time
  • be back on 17th June
  • London beckons once more
  • a life worth waiting for
  • bye bye voice
  • life on fast forward
  • down the well
  • in His arms again
