Maria Lillian Avalos

One night I had a dream.

I was walking along the beach with the Lord

and across the sky flashed scenes from my life.

In each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand,

one belonged to me, and the other to the Lord.

When the last scene of my life flashed before me,

I looked back at the footprints in the sand.

I noticed that many times along the path of my life

there was only one set of footprints.

I also noticed that it happened at

the very lowest and saddest times in my life.

This really bothered me and

I questioned the LORD about it.

"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow you,

you would walk with me all the way.

But I've noticed that during times of trouble

there is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why,

when I needed you most, you would leave me."

The LORD replied, "My precious, precious child,

I love you and I would never, never leave you

during your times of trial and suffering.

When you see only one set of footprints,

it was then that I carried you."

Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,

That saved a wretch like me.

I once was lost but now am found,

Was blind, but now I see.

T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.

And Grace, my fears relieved.

How precious did that Grace appear

The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares

I have already come;

'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far

and Grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me.

His word my hope secures.

He will my shield and portion be,

As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,

And mortal life shall cease,

I shall possess within the veil,

A life of joy and peace.

When we've been here ten thousand years

Bright shining as the sun.

We've no less days to sing God's praise

Than when we've first begun.
