A Ball Player's Prayer by Hal Skinner
God grant me wisdom to tell a strike from a ball,
to know where to throw and never to fall.
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 I'll 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
