Footsteps of a Stranger

Have you ever walked in the footsteps of a stranger?
Through each day..  Comes our way
You may see..  Even within their voices
That they maybe... what they say...  and believe
Just the same as you and me

Have ever really ever wondered
What is in their hearts or in their minds?
Of each of these Strangers... passing’s 
Wonder within their footsteps... wherever may lead
Never knowing who they really are 
But someday wish to see

Ever wonder... of the footsteps of these strangers
Have ever thought... wondering where they go
Wherever their hearts... or thoughts maybe lingering 
Within their voice... does it really show? 

Have you ever walked in footsteps of a stranger? 
Seeing what choices... they make in others’ lives
Can you see the love of God in others?
Or yet do they behold... anger and strife 

Wondering which way within their footsteps
What causes them to choose what they do?
To make these choices... why
Why... they do… what they do... who is true

When you walk among the footstep of a stranger
Can you hear within their voices... how they feel?
Deep inside... is it excitement...  of glorious Love 
Or do you see in their footsteps 
Of something they're covering up.. inside

Come in walk in their footsteps 
Can you see... what’s written upon their faces?
Of all these strangers here within places
Then wonder which way they are walking 
Do they know the difference?
Between day or night

See within the steps of strangers
Wherever their hearts may lay
What steps are they beholding?
Tis written on the words they display

Does the footsteps of a stranger
Display Love... forgiveness... and mercy  
Or do they betray the hardness... 

Come to Jesus
Follow His Steps
Walk in the Steps of Christ
Receive Eternal Life
