Footprints in the Sand

Here I am again...

I'm on my knees again...

This world's beating me down,

and I can't get over my sin.

I can't believe it's come to this,

so I'm letting You in...

cause I wanna win.

 

There it goes away...

Another chance lost today...

The devil's beating me down,

and I just can't seem to find my way.

Here I am giving it to You,

so you can win the day...

That's all I can say.

 

Except I gave it all I had Lord, but it ain't enough.

Everything inside of me that I couldn't stand.

I've ran away countless times cause I thought I was tough,

but You've shown me now that I'm just a man.

You never left me even when I gave up.

You showed me the footprints in the sand...

that's what I call love.

 

So i stand in the wind...

It blows hard, and I begin...

to give in to all of my doubts,

so I beg You for another chance to win.

I plead with You.

Help me find my peace yet again.

Help me to win...

 

Because I gave it all I had Lord, but it ain't enough.

Everything inside of me that I couldn't stand.

I've ran away countless times cause I thought I was tough,

but You've shown me now that I'm just a man.

You never left me even when I gave up.

You showed me the footprints in the sand...

that's what I call love.

 

I've hit the ground on my knees as I'm crying out loud!

I was begging You Lord please take me now,

but You have another plan that'll work out somehow.

 

I don't know because I only know what I see.

I know the one thing I can do is believe

that Your love won't do what they did, and give up on me.

 

There are times in this life that I feel dead inside.

Then someone shows up, and again I'm alive,

but now no one's gonna be there...not this time...

 

I'm giving it all I have Lord, but it ain't enough.

Everything inside of me that I can't stand.

I'm running back yet again because I ain't that tough.

I get it now...that I'm just a man.

I know You won't leave me now, I ain't giving up,

and I see the footprints in the sand...

that's what I call love.
