Lent Series ~ Footprints in the sand

For this Lent I am focusing on Psalm 139 whichspeaks about "God's faithfulness to us.  I talked about the original poem "Footprints" in THIS POST, a couple of days ago.   A modern interpretation of the poem was written a couple of years ago and was a chart hit for the singer Leona Lewis.  The words she sang are based on the poem.

You walked with me

Footprints in the sand

And helped me understand

Where I'm going

You walked with me

When I was all alone

With so much I no along the way

Then I heard you say

I promise you

I'm always there

When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair

I'll carry you

When you need a friend

You'll find my footprints in the sand

I see my life

Flash across the sky

So many times have I

Been so afraid

And just when I

Have thought I've lost my way

You give me strength to carry on

That's when I heard you say

Chorus

When I'm weary

Well I know you'll be there

And I can feel you

When you say

I promise youI'm always there

When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair

I'll carry you

When you need a friend

You'll find my footprints in the sand

This chorus is so true of Gods attitude to us "I promise you, I'm always there"   ~ "even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast" (v10)
"when my heart is filled with sorrow and dispair" ~Even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day for darkness is as light to you (v12)
"I'll carry you, when you need a friend, you'll find my footsteps in the sand.
