Like snowflakes, every fingerprint is unique. And like his/her fingerprint, every person is unique. Similarly, God possesses qualities that are His alone and although He is spirit, His fingerprints can be seen everywhere. His fingerprints are seen in nature – in an endless span of galaxies to the smallest microscopic cell. His fingerprints can be seen in history – from the epic story of Noah and the flood, to the preservation of Israel, to the foretelling and arrival of a Savior. God’s fingerprints can also be seen in human lives – in the disease mysteriously healed to the addict supernaturally delivered to the crumbling marriage miraculously restored. And even when life looks bad, God can bring beauty out of the worst tragedy. Somehow, in the end, He works out all things for the good of His children.

Fingerprints
Words & Music by Marc Andre. Copyright 2017.
Your world is sketched in black and grey
Your heart is beating out of phase
The pain, it pleads your soul’s retreat
And hope seems lost in oceans deep
Can you see His fingerprints
His guiding light of providence
Know that it will all make sense some day
Loving glimpses of His face
And guarding markers of His grace
Don’t you dare give up the chase, my friend
He’s with you all the way
He’s with you all the way
The human core will rise and fall
He weaves a purpose through it all
These watered roots and streams of truth
Will be the life that carries you
Can you see His fingerprints
His guiding light of providence
Know that it will all make sense some day
Guiding markers of His grace
And loving glimpses of His face
Don’t you dare give up the chase, my friend
He’s with you all the way
He’s with you all the way
He wonderfully knit your frame, knew your name
Numbered your days before you could breathe
He treasures every secret tear, He knows your fears
He cares how you feel and knows how to heal
So trust His heart, If you could taste the world that waits
If you only knew His great plans for you
Can you see His fingerprints
His guiding light of providence
Know that it will all make sense some day
Guiding markers of His grace
And loving glimpses of His face
Don’t you dare give up the chase, my friend
He’s with you all the way
He’s with you all the way
