lyrics
God moves in a mysterious way... Mystified!
Chorus: I am mystified by the way you walk,
I am mystified by the way you talk,
I am mystified by the things you do
I am mystified by your love so true.
Sleeping in my bed, a dream inside my head,
A dream I do not really understand.
I see my feet go walking and you beside me talking,
Two pairs of footprints walking in the sand.
Walking in the sand, walking hand in hand,
Walking in the sands of time.
Walking hand in hand in the sands of time,
Listening to the voice with the words that rhyme.
Chorus
The footprints in the sand see them side by side,
The footprints in the sand they will never die.
Joined together in love, with a love that is above.
Joined to live and not to die in a love to mystify
When the going gets tough, I know that you are there,
When the going gets tough, I know you’re there to care.
When the going gets tough, feel you holding my hand,
When the going gets tough, see your feet in the sand.
In the struggles of life, the toil and strife,
When I’m feeling like there’s no one there to care.
I reach out for your hand and I look into the sand,
I’m all alone, there’s just my footprints there,
And I despair, where’ve you gone Lord where’ve you gone?
Where’ve you gone Lord where’ve you gone?
Chorus
I pray to my God, I cry to my Lord
Don’t desert me Father you gave me your word.
You left us your spirit to carry us through.
The bad times, the sad times, I know that you are true.
When I cry to you Lord, I cry from the heart,
You answer me saying you will never depart.
I know that you are always by my side,
I know that you are watching over me.
I know that you are always by my side,
With a love I know is gonna set me free.
Chorus
In your troubles and your struggles, when times are hard to hack,
Just look a little closer, you’ll see you’re on my back.
When all you see is one set of footprints in the sand,
The love of God will carry you and help you understand!
I am mystified... I am mystified... I am mystified...
