200. Footprints of Jesus

Refrain:
Footprints of Jesus, leading the way,
Footprints of Jesus, by night and by day;
Sure if I follow, life will be sweet!
Saved by the prints of His wounded feet.

1 They led to Bethany, there's where He stayed;
They led to Gethsemane, there's where He prayed;
They led to Calvary, salvation complete,
Saved by the prints of His wounded feet. [Refrain]

2 Once I was lost and He heard my cry;
He left His Father's mansion on high;
He took my burden, and now I can sing,
"Glory to God, I'm a child of the King." [Refrain]

3 Daniel saw in Him a great rolling stone;
Isaiah saw Him tread the wine-press alone;
If we some day our dear Savior would meet,
Follow the prints of His wounded feet. [Refrain]

4 That's how I know Him, that's why I say,
Jesus is leading me, all the way;
I shall reach Heaven's portals so sweet,
Led by the prints of His wounded feet. [Refrain]
