Lord, as we walked down life’s pathway,
I noticed your footsteps were consistent and steady.
Mine were disorganized, and so very unsure
Signifying my life in turmoil so petty.
Then, I noticed we made a turn in the road.
Our prints paralleled and began walking as friends.
My footprints became steady; a good sign there to be
Trusting to release my life into your hands.
Before long, I noticed without a shadow of doubt
Our footprints changed again, and it became very clear
Inside my footprints are yours; we are becoming as one.
Greater is God in me, and the enemy not to fear.
Miles and time go by, yet another change I did see.
My footprints inside yours grew larger and did disappear.
There is one set of footprints and perfect union as one.
A most intimate relationship, and you are always near.
But, wait! Another change did take place!
The disorganized set of footprints came upon the scene.
I thought I was doing so well, so why did they return?
I learned to follow, and upon you did I not lean?
When we first became friends, I understand my distrust.
I was unsure because of my new Christian walk.
Yet, You helped me through the storms of life and confront
The enemy out to do battle; my life he did stalk.
As my smaller footsteps fit inside Yours,
I was learning to try and follow You close.
So you and I could become intimately entwined
Forgetting man, clinging to you and the Holy Ghost.
Then, Lord, my life took a dramatic turn for the best.
Our footprints merged into one big print alone.
It was then that I knew my life would never be the same.
I was becoming like You; my old life I would never own.
Why the regression, Lord, what have I done?
The footprints are different, and many ways they do go!
The Lord answers with a smile in his voice
“This is something you really do not know?”
“That is when we danced.” The Lord replied to me.
To everything there is a season, to laugh, weep and cry
Also there is a time to dance,
Does this not answer your question, Why?” |
