Story Behind The Song
Footprints in the sand by Mary Stevenson -
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 footprint

Lyrics
You may have heard the story of the footprints in the sand
Carry me now lord, Carry me now
I don't want to live no more I want to go to the Promised Land
Carry me now Lord, carry me now
Carry me now Lord 'till I can walk on my own
Carry me now Lord 'till I can find a place to go
Carry me now Lord my tears forever flow
Carry me now Lord, Carry me now.
Looking back Lord I see a single set of footprints in the sand
Carry me now Lord,carry me now
I think it's about time Lord I start singing in a heavenly band
Carry me now Lord,carry me now
Carry me now Lord 'till I can stand on my own
Carry me now Lord 'till I can find my way home
Carry me now Lord I feel so all alone
Carry me now Lord,carry me now.
Pull up by your own strings
When you pray, pray with love for your neighbors
Don't forget to ask how you can give child
Did you not remember that grace is what you need for the journey
Now walk the path and you will live.
Listen to the story of the footprints in the sand.
Carry me now Lord, carry me now
I don't want to live no more I want to go to the Promised Land
Carry me now Lord, carry me now
Carry me now Lord 'till I can walk on my own
Carry me now Lord 'till I can find a place to go
Carry me now Lord my tears forever flow
Carry me now Lord, Carry me now.
