Footprints Of God Poem by Gerry Legister

I noticed some footprints in the burning sand
I hear the reassuring words of someone's voice,
They bring comfort and make me understand,
When I have the difficulty of things to face.

God is the rock of my life, my steadfast hope
Those footprints in the sand are the reminders
That God holds my hands and helps me to cope
Bringing me out whole from the refiner's fires.

God, you are my life, my God, and my guide,
If I should suffer during times of cruel trials,
Help me to understand the discipline inside.
Was made to apply the fuel for daily arrivals.

When in times that I needed you the most,
If you should leave me, and my soul be grieved,
Let the shadows be close, of your heavenly host,
Covering the ground where I lay down to sleep.

Waiting to see the beautiful footprints you make,
In my dream, walking by the refreshing stream.
All my dirty fingerprints are clean, by daybreak,
I awake amazed, from the dream that I have seen.
