Footprints On My Heart


Oh the Christmas Future 
is what I look forward to, 
spending all my futures 
spending Christmases with
YOU.

I've had the snow white Christmases
with icicles all around
and children playing in the snow
and snow fights all around. 

I've had the fireplace with stockings 
filled with all sorts of candy and toys
but the one I look forward to most
will bring me the greatest joys
it's all the future Christmases 
I'll be spending with YOU.

The Christmas tree at my house
is not your typical tree.
You won't find tinsel and icicles
but remembrances of you and me.

At the foot of the tree are your slippers
a remembrance of when I washed your feet
as I humbled myself as your servant
for your slave you will not make me be.
It's to tell you I'll gladly serve you
all the future Christmases of you with me.

Each Christmas ball has a picture
of memories that we've made
to remind me of how blessed that I am
and the future that we will make
with the Christmases we've yet to share.

At the top of the tree is a heart,
not your typical Christmas tree star.
Across it are your footprints,
the ones you have left on my heart.

My Christmas tree branches are swaying 
from a gentle Hawaiian breeze
that carries the music you're playing
that sends me to my knees
and I gratefully thank God for sending me
the songs that you are playing 
with your Footprints On My Heart.
