Rastros Na Areia

Footprints in the Sand

Rastros Na Areia

The dream I had last nightO sonho que tive esta noite
Was a perfect example of loveFoi o exemplo de amor
I dreamed I was on a deserted beachSonhei que na praia deserta
Walking with our Lord aboveEu caminhava com nosso Senhor

Along that empty shorelineAo longo da praia deserta
The Lord wanted me to seeQuis o Senhor me mostrar
Scenes I had forgottenCenas por mim esquecidas
Of all I’ve done in this life of mineDe tudo que fiz nesta vida
He made me rememberEle me fez recordar

Scenes of happy hoursCenas das horas felizes
When the table was full at dinner timeQue a mesa era farta na hora da ceia
Wherever I had beenPor onde eu havia passado
Two sets of footprints were left in the sandFicaram dois pares de rastros na areia
Then the Lord spoke to meEntão o Senhor me falou
In those beautiful moments gone byEm seus belos momentos passados
To guide your stepsPara guiar os seus passos
I walked right by His sideEu caminhava ao Seu lado

But my lack of faithPorém minha falta de fé
Had to show its faceTinha que aparecer
When the scenes passed byQuando passavam as cenas
Of the saddest times in my whole beingDas horas mais tristes de todo o meu ser

So I complained to the LordEntão ao Senhor reclamei
Only His footprints remainedSomente Seu rastro ficou
When I needed Him mostQuando eu mais precisava
When I was suffering and cryingQuando eu sofria e chorava
The Lord had left me behindO Senhor me abandonou

In that sacred momentNaquele instante sagrado
When He embraced me saying thisQue Ele abraçou me dizendo assim
I wore the crown of thornsUsei a coroa de espinhos
Died on a cross, and you doubt me stillMorri numa cruz e duvidas de mim
Son, those footprints are mineFilho, esses rastros são meus
Listen to what I have to sayOuça o que vou lhe dizer
In your times of anguishNas Suas horas de angústias
I carried you all the way!Eu carregava você!
