God Recruited Us To Play the Game

God Recruited Us to Play the Game By Franklin Price 02/11/2022 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.
