Lord, Give me the strength to hit ball
And if I do don't let me fall
Help me to pick the pitch that's right
Then let me knock it out of sight.

Then let me run with deer-like grace
don't let me miss but tag first base
Then on to second, stay with me, Lord.
Cause this one out, we can't afford.

Then let me zoom like a flying bird
Right down the line and on to third.
Then let me slide with feet out-thrust.
Across home plate in the swishing dust.

But first of all, Dear Lord, I pray
Just tell the coach to let me play!
