God grant me wisdom, to tell a strike from a ball, to know where to throw and never to fall. |
|
Keep me always in the base line, running straight and true and I'll look for your sign, to stretch one into two. |
|
God give me vision, to see every pitch, so if a player needs help, then I will see which. |
|
Let me always hustle, so I'll be at my best and take pride in myself, in sports and the rest. |
|
God be my strength, when I throw the ball when I'm far from home plate, or against a wall. |
|
So I never miss a base, please guide my feet, bring me home safely, so my job is complete. |
|
When I help younger players, let me always give praise, so they'll see you in me, in all of my ways. |
|
God please guide our coach, to be fair and smart, to teach us to be good, let it come from his heart. |
|
Let me take a loss, just as well as a win, to do any less, is surely a sin. |
|
As long as I can play, let me make my parents proud, as proud as I am, when they yell my name out loud. |
|
However my games end, let me always have fun and if Heaven has All Stars, I want to be one. |
|
When
my games here are over and my seasons are done, let me play on your team. just like your son. Amen. |
