FOOTPRINTS ON THE WATER
FOOTPRINTS ON THE WATER
Words & Music by Stephen Elkins

When I was a little fish, swimming heppily
I heard the sound of footsteps
Walkin on the sea
I swam up to the surface
And much to my surprise
There on top of the water
Right before my eyes

Chorus
And I saw footprints on the water
Footprints on the sea
Footprints on the water
And I could not believe
I saw Jesus, Jesus
Walking on the waves
Footprints on the water that day

Then a man named Peter
Stepped out on the waves
He tried to walk to Jesus
Then, he sank away
He took his eyes off Jesus
What a big mistake
Down he went into the sea
O ye of little faith

Chorus
Genesis (Genesis)
Verse one-one (verse one-one)
In the beginning God created
The heavens and the earth

No earth was spinning ‘round

It’s enough to laugh
I’m reminded every time
I have to take a bath

Sailors shout hoo-ray!

On that special day

The sun and moon above
In heaven’s light on starry nights
I see our Father’s love

Day five, He made the sparrows
And every bird that flies
And all the creatures in the sea

Day six, He made the animals
Both big and small you see
And on that day (hip-hip-hooray)
God made Adam and Eve
