A line from the movie "Major League" (1989) "You trying to say that Jesus Christ can't hit a curve ball"
Jesus has laid down the bunt So others can advance Jesus is the Sacrificial One Jesus has given us a second chance Jesus is the Sacrifice Fly Jesus is the Reliever Jesus is the Grounder with a Seeing eye Jesus is the Big Leaguer Jesus is the Pinch Runner When we feel beleaguered He heads home along side each sinner [Sliding] We hear "Safe!" from our Redeemer Jesus keeps His eye on the ball We too must keep our focus We must look to Him Who goes to the wall He's the Warning Track we must notice Notice Him Who coaches Notice Him who hits the cutoff Man Notice Him Who broaches (As an extra inning approaches) Notice Him Who takes notice Notice Him Who gloves (and doesn't have to grasp) Notice Him The A-Mays-ing Grace Making the over the shoulder catch (He's making us fisher's of men By going over the wall, catching and bringing us back again) When we make an error He is there to help us through it He expects us to persevere Even when we over threw it Get over it, get on with it Don't remain in your sin Confess and repent of these things This is how we win So stretch your muscles, but not the truth You can do nothing against the truth Because we have The Sleuth Jesus helps us get ahead in the count Even when we are behind in the count Check your swing and choke up Don't get caught looking around Don't get caught looking up As they did when He went up If you are on base, have faith Jesus is batting clean up So if your in the line-up It doesn't matter your place in order Jesus has positioned you Where He needs you as an athletic supporter So walk to first circumspectly And to second (but don't roam) Don't steal third, wait on the Lord And He will drive you home So on that day and in that game When Jesus makes the call Remember you have faith not by how you field But by The One and His Faith that has been revealed So if your tired of the baseball metaphors Remember God is keeping the score But I'll leave you with Golf's Harbinger God is yelling the warning "Fore!"
