I wasn't there when the prophets wandered
in the town of Bethlehem where he would be born.
I wasn't there when John prepared the way
by preaching in the wilderness about what Christ would say.
But, even though I never walked by the sea of Galilee,
I've got his footsteps,
I've got his footsteps
right in front of me.
I've got his footsteps right in front of me
I've never seen his face
but, I still believe that when I'm feeling lost
he wants me to see
his footsteps right in front of me
I wasn't there at that place and time
when he calmed the water
gave eye sight to the blind
I wasn't there at the breaking of the bread
or when he was betrayed
and given up for dead.
I wasn't there when he stumbled up that hill of Calvary
but, I've got his footsteps
oh, I've got his footsteps
right in front of me.
I've got his footsteps right in front of me
I've never seen his face
but I still believe that when I'm feeling lost
he wants me to see his footsteps right in front of me.
well, I wasn't there when the grave was found
with his empty linens lying on the ground.
He walked away into eternity
and left his footsteps right in front of me.
Well, I've got his footsteps right in front of me
I've never seen his face but I still believe
that when I'm feeling lost, he wants me to see
his footsteps, right in front of me.
(repeat )
