Footprints

A musical version of the well-known poem by the same name, this song has a catchy tune and an uplifting reminder that we never have to walk alone.

Lyrics:

I’ve fallen through the floor again, crashed into the basement
Your pain was swallowing me
I was like a lead balloon when I couldn’t even get up to
Turn the lights on, the dark was swallowing me

Lord knows you can’t trust your head
When you’re standing on the edge
I’m breaking down
Lord knows you can’t trust your head
When you’re hanging by a thread
I was breaking down

And I saw only two footprints in the sand
Thought you’d abandoned me and
Let go of my hand
But you were carrying me
Carrying me to safety
Two footprints, your footprints in the sand
Two footprints, two footprints, your footprints in the sand
Two footprints, your footprints in the sand

Oh what if I had got the things I knew it was I
Who’d abandoned with you
Forgive me, I was lost and found
You had never left my side
Picked me up when I thought I would die
You helped me and I was fine

Lord knows you can’t trust your head
When you’re standing on the edge
I’m breaking down
Lord knows you can’t trust your head
When you’re hanging by a thread
And I’m breaking down

Only two footprints in the sand
Thought you’d abandoned me and
Let go of my hand
But you were carrying me
Carrying me to safety
Two footprints, your footprints in the sand
Only two footprints in the sand
Thought you’d abandoned me and
Let go of my hand
But you were carrying me
Carrying me to safety
Two footprints, your footprints in the sand
Two footprints, two footprints, your footprints in the sand
Two footprints, your footprints in the sand

You Build us Back with Precious Stones

This wonderfully hopeful song was inspired by Isaiah 54:11-13  , which reads:

11 O afflicted one, storm-tossed, and not comforted,
    I am about to set your stones in antimony,
    and lay your foundations with sapphires.
12 I will make your pinnacles of rubies,
    your gates of jewels,
    and all your wall of precious stones.
13 All your children shall be taught by the Lord,
    and great shall be the prosperity of your children.

Build Us Back – Lyrics

Newsboys

We’ve been crumbled, we’ve been crushed
City walls have turned to dust
Broken hands and blistered feet
We walk for miles to find relief

When the thief takes, when our hopes cave
You build us back
You build us back
When the earth shakes, when the world breaks
You build us back
You build us back

We are scared, we are poor
All our safety nets are torn
We’ve been humbled to our knees
From these ruins, we believe

Redeemer, redeem us
Restorer, restore us
Oh build us back
Though the mountains be shaken, the hills be removed
Your unfailing love remains
After all that’s been taken, Your promise, still sacred
You build us back with precious stones
