Last night I had a dream O Lord that's still with me today,
I saw the path of life I've led as you showed me your way.

I dreamed we walked together Lord 
Along the sands of time;
Two sets of footprints in the sand,
One yours, the other mine.

Together, step by step, we took,
You were right there by my side,
The faith I carried with me,
You'd never run and hide.

And in my dream I saw my youth
I relived my child's play;
And you were there holding hands with me
And this is what you'd say:

Together arm and arm we sang
Silly songs and nursery ryhmes;
Oh how the beach was sunny then,
Those were the best of times.

As I looked back on this journey of mine
I soon became aware
When life was at it's lowest ebb,
You were not present there.

You said you'd always be with me
To show you really care,
Yet when I needed you the most
Your footprints were not there.

And Lord it brings me such sadness,
To see I walked it alone,
I counted on you to be with me,
To lead me safely home.
