frozen, broken down in colorado
a lonely mountain road with a town below
snow’s been fallin’ for three long days
children cryin’ “will we ever be saved?’
my true love prayed aloud to his Lord above
I begged for him to stay but a greater Love…
led him out into a blizzard blind
seeking hope for loved ones left behind
I saw him stumble, I saw him fall
would his footprints bring deliverance to us all?
they found him lyin’ there in the early dawn
stiff and blue the life he knew was gone
but his footprints led to their surprise
to a place where we were still alive
I saw him stumble I saw him fall
but his footprints brought deliverance to us all
my true love did what only true love does
my children know the man their daddy was
And I pray someday his sons will choose
to step into their father’s shoes
and they may stumble and they may fall
but his footprints bring deliverance to us all
my love I lost you deep in the fallen snow
I wish that I could tell you, wish you could know
that though you stumbled and though you fell
your footprints led us out of hell
I saw you stumble, I saw you fall
but your footprint brought deliverance
oh I saw you stumble, I saw you fall
but your footprints brought deliverance
brought deliverance
to us all
