Where My Savior's Footprints Go

Representative Text

1 Jesus sought me while I wandered
In the ways of sin and woe;
Placed me on the blessed highway,
Where my Saviour's footprints go.

Chorus:
Where his footprints go, I'll follow,
Gladly follow, all the way;
Peace, I find, and rest, for naught can there molest,
Where my Saviour's footprints go.

2 Tho the hosts of sin assail me,
And life's shadows deeper grow,
Yet I'm safe while on the pathway,
Where my Saviour's footprints go. [Chorus]

3 In green pastures oft he leadeth,
Where the quiet waters flow;
'Tis a path of wondrous beauty,
Where my Saviour's footprints go. [Chorus]

4 There are mansions up in heaven
All prepared for me, I know;
And to reach them I will follow,
Where my Saviour's footprints go. [Chorus]
