My song based on the Footprints in the Sand.
CARRIED
It came to me in a dream one night. This scene which was to change my life.
My past laid out upon the land. As footprints in the sand.
The Lord appeared to talk with me. He told me of his love for me.
He let me know he'd never leave, I'd never walk alone.
Sometimes two sets, Sometimes one. The footprints traveled on and on.
Depicting all that I had done. The story of this lamb.
I could not fathom what I saw, Where did the other footprints go
When life had come and laid me low, Was tough times they were gone
CHORUS
CARRIED, I'VE BEEN CARRIED
CARRIED BY HIS HOLY CROSS
CARRIED, I'VE BEEN CARRIED
HE'S SAVED ME FROM BEING LOST
Then not knowing of his plan, I thought and thought about that sand
I could not see his helping hand, A selfish sinners view
I asked him why that he'd left me, He said foolish son why can't you see
Whenever tough times came along, Was then I carried you, Was then I carried you.
BRIDGE
Carried at my weakest, carried when I'm strong
Humbled by the awesome love that carries me along
CHORUS
My eyes have opened, I've seen the light, It came to me that fateful night
The Lord had come to make it right, He'd carried me again.
