Footprints Lyrics – Esther Colman & Homegrown Worship
LYRICS
Verse 1:
Unsure of where you’re standing?
Do you need a compass or a light?
The walls are falling down all around you. Tell me,
Are you petrified?
Take my hand.
Verse 2:
My child, I chose you long ago,
I chased you down in the dark.
And I hear you ask me why,
Why would you take the time?
You always did underestimate your worth.
Chorus: (Repeat)
Take my hand and I’ll lead you through this desert.
And when you stumble, I’ll carry you across the sands.
And when this journey’s ended,
Of course I’ll send down the rains
And you’ll see two sets of footprints across the plains.
Verse 3:
Unsure of the walls around?
Please don’t try to hide
Or be afraid to make a sound.
All that you need was bought at Calvary.
Verse 4:
Unsure of the ground below?
Kick off your shoes and come home.
All that you need was bought at Calvary.
Chorus: (Repeat)
Take my hand and I’ll lead you through this desert.
And when you stumble, I’ll carry you across the sands.
And when this journey’s ended,
Of course I’ll send down the rains
And you’ll see two sets of footprints across the plains.
Bridge 1:
For you, I bore the cross of salvation,
I purchased your soul with my blood.
I bore the cross and died, so that you’d have eternal life,
I purchased your soul with my pain and flesh and blood.
And I’ll never leave your side,
That’s the promise I made when I took the nails.
My darling child, please know you are blessed because…
You are mine.
The rains are lashing down,
This is a good sign.
I’m holding out my hand,
Just come inside.
I’m waiting at the door,
But you’re pressed against the wall like you’re
Petrified.
You’d never question a father’s need to love his child, so why?
You’d never question a father’s need to love his child, so why do you doubt me?
Bridge 2:
I bore the cross and died, so that you’d have eternal life,
I purchased your soul with my pain and flesh and blood.
And I’ll never leave your side,
That’s the promise I made when I took the nails.
My darling child, please know you are blessed
‘Cause I am yours, forever yours,
Faithful to the last.
Verse 5:
So you’re unsure of where you’re standing?
Do you need a compass or a light?
The walls are falling down all around you. Tell me,
Are you petrified?
Take my hand.
Take my hand.
Take my hand.
Outro:
Take my hand and I’ll lead you through this desert.
(All that you need. Take my hand.)
And when you stumble, I’ll carry you across the sands.
(All that you need was bought at Calvary.)
Of course I’ll send down the rains
And you’ll see two sets of footprints across the plains.
(All that you need was bought at Calvary.)
You’d never question a father’s need to love his child, so why?
I purchased your soul with my blood. (Calvary.)
You always did underestimate your worth. (Calvary.)
Take my hand.
