Verse 1: 
    C                  Em                F                   G 
One night I dreamed of walking along the shores of different lands.   
        Am                 Em             F                 G 
I could tell that You were with me by the footprints in the sand. 
     C              Em             F           G 
As I gazed upon the heavens, I saw pages of my life. 
       Am        Em               F                  G 
It was then I realized that You remained there by my side. 
         Am              Em             F                  G 
When the clouds began to gather and the rains came falling down, 
  Am             Em              F                 G 
I looked to only find one set of footprints on the ground. 
         C                 Em              F                 G 
I said, "Lord, why did You leave me in the troubled times of life? 
    Am                    Em            F               G                G7 
I believed that You would always walk beside me day and night."  (Then I heard:) 
1: 
             C     C/B  Am           Dm        G 
"My precious child,        I'd never leave you. 
       C                 Em           Dm    G 
I have carved you on the hollow of My hand. 
            Am                Em 
It's then I carried you in My arms, 
         F              G                 C       Em   F   Gsus G 
When you see one set of footprints in the sand"  
Verse 2: 
     C                 Em           F                  G 
Dear Lord, will You be with me as I travel through the years? 
         Am              Em                   F             G 
Will You be there in the struggles?  Will You wipe away the tears? 
      Am                   Em            F                 G  
As my eyes turn toward the ocean and the shores of distant lands, 
          Am              Em            F                 G                     G7 
I'm still thinking of the single set of footprints in the sand.    (I heard Him say:)

I have carved you on the hollow of My hand. 
            Am                Em 
It's then I carried you in My arms,

When you see one set of footprints in the sand."

   Bm              F#m                G              A    
Oh Lord, I long to see You.  Will You be there once again?    
   Bm                   F#m                G               A 
My eyes turn toward the heavens, along the path of foreign lands, 
     Bm                 F#m           G                 A              A7 
Once more, I'm thinking of the set of footprints in the sand.   (Jesus said:)

See your name carved on the hollow of My hand.

I'm here to carry you to your home.
