God grant me the wisdom,<br /> to tell a strike from a ball,<br /> to know where to throw,<br /> and never to fall.<br /> Keep me always in the base line,<br /> running straight and true,<br /> and I&#039;ll look for your sign,<br /> to stretch one into two.<br /> God give me vision,<br /> to see every pitch,<br /> so if a player needs help,<br /> then I will see which.<br /> Let me always hustle,<br /> so I&#039;ll be at my best,<br /> and take pride in myself,<br /> in sports and the rest.<br /> God be my strength,<br /> when I throw the ball,<br /> when I&#039;m far from home plate,<br /> or against a wall.<br /> So I never miss a base,<br /> please guide my feet,<br /> bring me home safely,<br /> so my job is complete.<br /> When I help younger players,<br /> let me always give praise,<br /> so they&#039;ll see you in me,<br /> in all of my ways.<br /> God please guide our coach,<br /> to be fair and smart,<br /> to teach us to be good,<br /> let it come from his heart.<br /> Let me take a loss,<br /> just as well as a win,<br /> to do any less,<br /> is surely a sin.<br /> As long as I can play,<br /> let me make my parents proud,<br /> as proud as I am,<br /> when they yell my name out loud.<br /> However my games end,<br /> let me always have fun,<br /> and if Heaven has All-Stars,<br /> I want to be one.<br /> When my games here are over,<br /> and my seasons are done,<br /> let me play on your team,<br /> just like your son.<br /> Amen
