I like Baseball 
Needless to say

Not much to it
Just hit the ball and run away 

Today was different
I had much more fun
 
I stepped up to the Plate of Life
Strike One

I heard my Coach Jesus say
Be patient my son
And you will be on your way

Strike two
I thought the game was over
I felt all alone

I was nervous and doubtful 
I could never do it on my own 

Then I heard the Coach say
Swing at the next one
And see what happens today

It was as if the Coach had taken the bat in his own hands
It was a home run directly in the stands

The crowd cheered 
My heart swelled with pride 

He said don’t run
No one can count you out
I’ll always be by your side
