      • Footprints in the Sand is a studio album by American Christian and country singer Cristy Lane. It was released in August 1983 via Liberty and LS Records. It contained ten tracks. The album was a collection of Christian recordings and was Lane's second album to consist entirely of this genre. The album also spawned two charting singles, including the title track.


      Background and content


      Before transitioning into the Christian music market, Cristy Lane had a series of major country hits in the 1970s and 1980s. This included "Let Me Down Easy", "I Just Can't Stay Married to You" and the number one single "One Day at a Time". The latter recording was a Christian tune and its success prompted Lane to market herself more towards the genre. She issued her first gospel record in 1981 and Footprints in the Sand would soon follow. The album consisted of ten tracks of material. The title track was Lane's musical interpretation of the religious poem. It also included covers of other Christian tunes, such as "The Lord's Prayer". Original tracks were also included on the project, such as "I've Come Back (To Say I Love You One More Time)". Footprints in the Sand was recorded in April 1983 in Nashville, Tennessee. The record was produced by Lobo, Lee Stoller (Lane's husband) and James Stroud.
