Footprints In The Sand

This blog is about an uplifting and inspring video about the support given to those in need (brought to us by Sport Relief and sung by the amazing Leona lewis) based on the poem about God and his guidance through the tougher times in peoples lives. Whether you believe or not is irrelevent, as long as you understand the message this song is trying to get across;

" I promise you, I'm always there, when your heart is full of sorrow and despair, and I'll carry you, when you need a friend. You'll find my foorprints in the sand".

The original poem, by Mary Stevenson, is written below;

Footprints in the Sand

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.

Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.

In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.

Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,

other times there were one set of footprints.

This bothered me because I noticed

that during the low periods of my life,

when I was suffering from

anguish, sorrow or defeat,

I could see only one set of footprints.

So I said to the Lord,

"You promised me Lord,

that if I followed you,

you would walk with me always.

But I have noticed that during

the most trying periods of my life

there have only been one

set of footprints in the sand.

Why, when I needed you most,

you have not been there for me?"

The Lord replied,

"The times when you have

seen only one set of footprints in the sand,

is when I carried you."
