I was walking along the beach my Lord
Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life
For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand
one belonging to me and to my Lord
When the last scene of my life shot before me
I looked back at the footprints in the sand
There was only one set of footprints
I realized that this was at the lowest
and saddest time of my life
This was also bothered me
and I questinoed the Lord
"Lord, You told me when I follow You,
Youwould walk with me all the way
But, I'm aware that during my most troublesome time
there is only one set of footprint
I just don't understand why
when I need You most, You 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.
