	Story Behind the Song This song came about during a time of personal renewal, when I felt like I wasn't worth anything to God, and could never be reconciled to Him. It closely follows the theme of the famous "Footsteps in the Sand" poem. In it, the author wonders why he was alone during the most difficult times of his life, and in the end Jesus explains that the places where only one set of footprints can be seen are "where I carried you." Jesus said, "I will NEVER leave you, or forsake you, and while its true that I have nothing to OFFER God, I am worth the blood of His Son, and He reminded me of that in a powerful way through this song. -- Coe Perry Lyrics Verse 1: I saw an old friend in your eyes tonight A friend I haven't seen in a while I saw a friend I thought was gone before tonight Made me feel just like a child Bridge 1: Then finally I asked you Where've you been? Where'd you go? You didn't have to answer I said ,"I already know." You've been here right beside me Standing with me all the time It was me who ran away, dear Lord Me who left you behind." Chorus: And I thank you for the love it took to let me see your eyes. Thank you for the love you gave, to make me realize That it was me who turned my back, me who walked away And I thank you for your love, dear Jesus, to take me back today Verse 2: A good friend passed on just the other day Tears started slow, but then they rolled The pain fell on me like a dark and empty room I felt so lonely, felt so cold Bridge 2: Then I looked up and asked you Where've you been? Where'd you go? You looked at me with love in your eyes Said, "Child, don't you know? "I've been here right beside you Standing with you all the time Through trials, troubles, pain and fear I'll never leave you behind." Chorus Verse 3: Then I looked into your eyes I saw that you'd be standing here with me Throughout eternity You saved me by amazing grace Given by the nail-scarred hands that paid the price upon that day Every time that I fall down Your loving arms come pick me up again And you set me free from sin Lord, I'll never understand But I'll forever fall upon my face and praise your name Chorus Chorus Thank you for your love, dear Jesus Thank you for your love
