Cristy Lane / Footprints in the Sand

앞서 소개한 Leona Lewis의 Footprints in the Sand 버젼에 이어

이번에는 그보다 20여년 전에 발표된 Christy Lane의 버젼을 소개한다.

 

one night I had a dream.

I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the lord.
And across the sky flashed scenes from my life.

For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand.

One set belonged to me, and the other to the lord.

When the last scene of my life flashed before us,

 I looked back at the footprints in the sand.

And I noticed that many times along the path of life,

there was only one set of footprints.

I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in my life.

This really bothered me so I questioned the lord about it.
 
one set of footprints in the sand
Lord, you promised me you'd hold my hand
Tell my why in the troubled time I looked back and I would find
one set of footprints in the sand

 Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,

 you would walk with me all the way.

But I noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life

there's only one set of footsteps.

I don't understand why in times I needed you most you should leave me.

And the Lord replied,

My precious, precious child, I love you.

And I would never, never leave you.

 During your times of trial and suffering,

when you saw only one set of footprints,

 it was then that I was carrying you.
