Your Favorite
By Request La-la-la
00:00:17.45\00:00:21.52
Welcome to Your
Favorite By Request.
00:00:21.55\00:00:24.49
Recitations.
00:00:24.52\00:00:26.25
They're not my specialty,
00:00:26.29\00:00:28.16
but I've had a few
requests for this first song.
00:00:28.19\00:00:30.39
And I really do like
the concept of the song
00:00:30.43\00:00:32.56
that reminds us
how Christ carries us
00:00:32.59\00:00:36.00
through our
toughest circumstances.
00:00:36.03\00:00:38.23
So feel free to
sing along, speak along,
00:00:38.27\00:00:41.44
on footprints in the sand.
00:00:41.47\00:00:44.57
One night I had a dream.
00:00:44.61\00:00:46.64
I dreamed I was
walking along the beach
00:00:46.68\00:00:48.58
with my Lord.
00:00:48.61\00:00:50.08
And across the sky
flash scenes from my life.
00:00:50.11\00:00:53.65
For each scene, I noticed
00:00:53.68\00:00:55.42
two set of
footprints in the sand.
00:00:55.45\00:00:58.62
One set belong to me,
the other to the Lord.
00:00:58.65\00:01:03.36
When the last scene of
my life flashed before us,
00:01:03.39\00:01:06.46
I looked back at the
footprints in the sand.
00:01:06.49\00:01:09.13
And I noticed many
times along the path of life,
00:01:09.16\00:01:12.73
there was only
one set of footprints.
00:01:12.77\00:01:15.40
And I also noticed that
00:01:15.44\00:01:16.77
it happened at the very lowest
and saddest times in my life.
00:01:16.81\00:01:21.81
This really bothered me,
00:01:21.84\00:01:23.68
so I questioned
the Lord about it.
00:01:23.71\00:01:25.21
One set of
footprints In the sand
00:01:29.98\00:01:34.99
Lord, you promised
me You'd hold my hand
00:01:35.02\00:01:41.26
Tell me why In the troubled time
00:01:41.30\00:01:45.40
I looked back to only find
00:01:45.43\00:01:49.34
One set of
footprints in the sand
00:01:49.37\00:01:52.77
Lord, You said that one
side decided to follow you.
00:01:56.24\00:02:00.78
You would walk
with me all the way,
00:02:00.82\00:02:04.25
but I noticed
00:02:04.29\00:02:05.62
that during the most
troublesome times in my life,
00:02:05.65\00:02:08.69
there's only one
set of footprints.
00:02:08.72\00:02:10.86
I don't understand
00:02:10.89\00:02:12.69
why in times
where I needed You most
00:02:12.73\00:02:15.70
that You should leave me.
00:02:15.73\00:02:19.10
The Lord replied,
00:02:19.13\00:02:21.24
"My precious, precious child,
00:02:21.27\00:02:24.07
I love you,
00:02:24.11\00:02:25.44
and I would
never ever leave you.
00:02:25.47\00:02:28.34
During your times
of trial and suffering,
00:02:28.38\00:02:32.71
when you saw only
one set of footprints,
00:02:32.75\00:02:36.18
it was then that
I was carrying you."
00:02:36.22\00:02:39.09
One set of
footprints in the sand
00:02:42.52\00:02:48.00
Oh yes, at last, I understand
00:02:48.03\00:02:54.57
Through every
storm He carried me
00:02:54.60\00:02:57.57
Now I praise the Lord each time
00:02:57.61\00:03:00.18
I see one set of footprints
00:03:00.21\00:03:05.11
In the sand
00:03:05.15\00:03:09.15
One set of
footprints in the sand
00:03:09.18\00:03:14.96
That's a great idea, isn't it?
00:03:19.93\00:03:21.33
That's true, you know.
00:03:21.36\00:03:22.70
Yeah.
00:03:22.73\00:03:24.07
He does...
00:03:24.10\00:03:25.43
He carries us. Carries us.
00:03:25.47\00:03:26.80
He does carry us
00:03:26.84\00:03:28.17
and He never
leaves or forsakes us.
00:03:28.20\00:03:29.54
That's right. I love that.
00:03:29.57\00:03:30.91
I love that.
00:03:30.94\00:03:32.27
There's a great
scripture in Matthew 18:11-13,
00:03:32.31\00:03:37.41
that talks about the shepherd,
00:03:37.45\00:03:42.65
Christ as the great shepherd
who goes after the one sheep.
00:03:42.68\00:03:47.29
He has 99...
00:03:47.32\00:03:48.66
Right.
00:03:48.69\00:03:50.03
And, but He goes after
the one that has gone astray.
00:03:50.06\00:03:54.00
And there's a great song
that goes along with those,
00:03:54.03\00:03:59.27
I think two or three
verses in the scripture, but...
00:03:59.30\00:04:04.87
Yeah, the verses are short,
00:04:04.91\00:04:06.24
but the song is very descriptive
00:04:06.27\00:04:07.61
of that whole scene.
00:04:07.64\00:04:08.98
Yeah.
00:04:09.01\00:04:10.35
It paints a
great picture of Him.
00:04:10.38\00:04:11.71
It's a great
picture of Christ's desire
00:04:11.75\00:04:13.08
not to even let one be lost.
00:04:13.11\00:04:15.25
Yeah. The 99.
00:04:15.28\00:04:16.95
There were ninety
and nine That safely lay
00:04:20.16\00:04:26.26
In the shelter of the fold
00:04:26.29\00:04:32.17
But one was out
On the hills away
00:04:32.20\00:04:37.97
Far off from the gates of gold
00:04:38.01\00:04:43.91
Away on the
mountains Wild and bare
00:04:43.95\00:04:50.42
Away from the
tender Shepherd's care
00:04:50.45\00:04:53.76
Away from the tender
00:04:56.89\00:05:01.06
Shepherd's care
00:05:01.10\00:05:05.57
Lord, Thou hast
here The ninety and nine
00:05:05.60\00:05:11.57
Are they not enough For Thee?
00:05:11.61\00:05:16.91
But the Shepherd made answer
00:05:16.95\00:05:20.02
This of Mine Has
wandered away from Me
00:05:20.05\00:05:24.52
And although The
road be rough and steep
00:05:27.96\00:05:33.60
I go to the
desert To find My sheep
00:05:33.63\00:05:40.17
I go to the
desert To find My sheep
00:05:40.20\00:05:45.87
But none of the
ransomed Ever knew
00:05:48.94\00:05:53.92
How deep were the
waters That they crossed
00:05:53.95\00:05:58.72
Nor how dark was the night
00:06:02.06\00:06:05.89
That the Lord passed
00:06:05.93\00:06:09.26
Ere found His
sheep That was lost
00:06:09.30\00:06:15.90
Out in the desert
00:06:15.94\00:06:19.07
He heard its cry
Sick and helpless,
00:06:19.11\00:06:25.25
And ready to die
00:06:25.28\00:06:28.78
Sick and
helpless, And ready to die
00:06:28.82\00:06:33.12
And all thro' the
mountains, Thunder-riv'n
00:06:38.13\00:06:44.20
And up from the rocky steep
00:06:44.23\00:06:49.94
There arose a cry
To the gate of heav'n
00:06:49.97\00:06:55.81
Rejoice! I have found My sheep!
00:06:55.84\00:07:01.38
And the angels
echoed Around the throne
00:07:01.42\00:07:07.92
Rejoice, for the
Lord Brings back His own!
00:07:07.96\00:07:14.80
Rejoice, for the Lord
00:07:14.83\00:07:18.70
Brings back His own!
00:07:18.73\00:07:23.07
That's great.
00:07:27.18\00:07:28.51
And we'll be
back right after this.
00:07:28.54\00:07:31.05
So come back.
00:07:31.08\00:07:32.41
