A Dusty Pair of Sandals

I am a firm believer that life is what happens in between the plans that we make. No matter what plans we might wake up with in our minds, life can find a way of smacking you upside the forehead with a two by four and changing the day for you.

I told you that Kilo has been educating me to bluegrass in a big way and I have found a song that sure answers those two by four moments for me. Seems we have had enough of those moments lately around here that maybe I can talk Kilo into building me a porch swing-hmmm.

Anyway, on with my song of inspiration. I hope perhaps it speaks to your heart also and gives you hope as it does for us here.

A Dusty Pair of Sandals- by Paul Williams and the Victory Trio

Just outside of Lazerus’ tomb
Lazerus’ sister’s filled with gloom
Crying sore and wondering what it’s all about
But she doesn’t know God’s plan
For just north of Bethany town
There’s a dusty pair of sandals headed south.

Chorus:
Don’t give up
Don’t give up
Don’t let trials and tribulations make you doubt
When great troubles overtake you
Don’t give in and don’t give out
There’s a dusty pair of sandals headed south.

If your life is filled with sorrow and
You’re wondering about tomorrow
And your valleys dark and deep with no way out
Jesus never will forsake you
So raise your hands and shout
There's as dusty pair of sandals headed south.

Don’t give up
Don’t give up
Don’t let trials and tribulations make you doubt
When great troubles overtake you
Don’t give in and don’t give out
There’s a dusty pair of sandals headed south.
