God Recruited Us To Play the Game
God Recruited Us to Play the Game

God recruited us to play the game
And He blessed us every day,
Protected us against ourselves,
In the places we would play.
Gave us many years together,
Filled our needs, most times our wants.
In our lives were many home runs
And, at times, some well placed bunts
We were a team God put together,
Rounded bases far from home.
He managed us, for who were were,
In all the places we would roam.
I was the pitcher, you the catcher.
You were there on every throw.
Always protecting home plate
You were the best, at it, I know.
Other team mates, He recruited,
Be they family or friend,
Filled out all the other bases
And they'll be there 'til the end
God saw that you were injured
And he took you from the game
And lifted you to Heaven
Did it all in Jesus' name
Now that you're no longer catching,
I will coach, no longer throw.
Other team mates, gathered 'round me,
Help to soften up the blow.
To compare our life to baseball
Is apropos, I have no doubt.
It all started at a ball game,
That we could not have done without.
