As
you walk down the pathway, if you look
close behind,
You’ll see footprints you’re
leaving in the sands of time.
Some of
the prints go down deep in the sand;
Much deeper, perhaps, than you had
planned.
Other
prints may seem shallow, disappearing
from view,
As if the soil had never known you.
And so
it is with our lives every day,
We leave prints upon others as we pass
their way.
We
imprint their lives for good, or for bad.
We can leave them feeling gloomy, or
joyous, or glad.
Do the
marks that we leave press down deep in
their lives?
Or do we speed by like a wisp past their
eyes?
We
should seek to impact every life that we
touch
With a positive imprint that blesses them
much.
Leaving
them better than when we first came,
So they will never again be the same.
As they
feel the imprint that our life makes on
theirs,
They will know there is someone who
really does care.
For the
prints that we leave were first left on
us,
When our Lord shed His blood and died on
the cross.
So, let
your love show them that He loves them
too;
And the prints that you leave will be
Christ working through you.
Join
together in making this one sacrifice…
Imprinting the world
with the Gospel of Christ.
