Little sharing about Galilee

The location "Galilee" brings a song into my head. I'd like to share it with you. The lyrics here is translated by me from the Taiwanese transcrip. It just talks about the memories we have with Jesus. Thanks for the footprints along the seashore of Galilee, we can go through everyday. Enjoy it! :)

ps. Sorry, please turn up the vollume due to the low quality of my file.

Footprints in the sand
lyrics by Joseph M. Martin; music by David Angerman

Lord, your tender voice is gentlly calling me to follow you
Lord, your footprints in the sand guide me to return to you
I've passed through deep darkness and valleys of death
That's your footprints along the paths leading me step by step after you

Those are the footprints in the sand along the seashore of Galilee
Those are the footprints in the sand extending to Golgotha
How beautiful the footprints are
The footprints of King of Peace
We're thankful that you gave us footprints in the sand


Lord, I saw you walking along the sparkling seashore at dawn
Lord, I can see your footprints along the seashore till dusk
Leading me go ahead
Calling me work hard
I know that Lord is always with me and that I'm never alone

Those are the footprints in the sand along the seashore of Galilee
Those are the footprints in the sand extending to Golgotha
How beautiful the footprints are
The footprints of King of Peace
We're thankful that you gave us footprints in the sand


Our saviour came to this world to lighten our ways
Today the paths he has been through still glorify
The sand of time couldn't cover his footprints at all
Those who search for him will all find Him


Those are the footprints in the sand along the seashore of Galilee
Those are the footprints in the sand extending to Golgotha
How beautiful the footprints are
The footprints of King of Peace
We're thankful that you gave us footprints in the sand ___________________________________________

It's so~~ beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing! May I ask which choir sang this song?

Here is the original lyrics by Joseph M. Martin.
=================================
Lord, on the gentle wind, we hear you calling, "Come follow me"
Lord, in the sands of time your footsteps falling, lead us to there.
Though they pass across dark mountains. Though they walk through valleys deep.
On the road I see your footprints, and I follow where they lead.

There are footprints in the sand, by the sea of Galilee.
There are footprints in the sand, that lead to Calvary.
How beautiful the feet, of the blessed prince of Peace.
I thank you, Lord, for your footprints in the sand.

Lord, as the new day dawns, I see you walking by the crystal sea.
Lord, on that distant shore, I see your footprints still leading me.
As they lead into the future, to a calling yet unknown.
I will keep his promise near me. I will never walk alone!

There are footprints in the sand, by the sea of Galilee.
There are footprints in the sand, that lead to Calvary!
How beautiful the feet, of the blessed Prince of Peace.
I thank you, Lord, for your footprints in the sand.

Jesus came to earth to illumine the way,
and the path that He left is still shining today.
The sands of time have not covered the path He laid down.
For those who are seeking, the way still is found, still is found.

There are footprints in the sand, by the sea of Galilee.
There are footprints in the sand, that lead to Calvary!
How beautiful the feet, of the blessed Prince of Peace.
I thank you, Lord, for your footprints in the sand.
