Intro: C   Em   F   Gsus G  x2

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:)

             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       A   A7
When you see one set of footprints in the sand."
Verse 3:
        D               F#m            G                A
Will I  hear the angels singing, as my life comes to an end.
   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:)
3:
             D       Bm           Em         A
"My precious child,     I'd never leave you.
         D                  F#m          Em     A
See your name carved on the hollow of My hand.
            Bm                F#m
I'm here to carry you to your home.
         G              A                 Bm    Bm/A
You will see one set of footprints in the sand.
            G             A                 D
...You will see My set of footprints in the sand."
