Footsteps

I hear one set of footsteps along my path
And dear God, I know that it is not mine
For if it were not yours leading the way
I’d be lost for I don’t know where to go

Each time the business of living drains me
And I feel like running away from the fray
I hear your footsteps and I feel safe again
And each time you carried me through it all

When I feel that you may have forgotten me
Your footsteps remind me that you are near
As I run to you and remain in your presence
I recall the many times that this had happened

So every time I feel frightened and all alone
I just listen for your footsteps along my path
For I know that you are not just guiding me
You are taking me where my soul finds rest
