Life is a ballgame, being played each day
Life is a ballgame, everybody can play
Yes You know Jesus, standing at the Home Plate
He s waiting for you there
Life is a Ballgame, but you ve got to play it fair
First base is Temptation, You know Second base is Sin
Third base Tribulation, if you pass you can make it in
Oh man Solomon is the Umpire, and Satan pitching the game
He ll do his best to strike you out, keep Playing just the same
You know Daniel s up to bat first, you know he prayed three times a day
Yes Satan pitched him a fastball, but he hit it anyway
Yes You know Job is up to bat next, Satan struck him in every way
But Job hit a home run, and he came on in that day
Yes You know prayer is a strong bat, to hit at Satan s ball.
And when you start to swinging, you got to give it your all and all
Yes You know Fate s gonna be your catcher, and on him you can depend
For Jesus standing at the Home Plate, and he s waiting for you to come in
Yes you know Moses is on the sidelines, waiting to be called
You know the day he parted the Red Sea, he knew Christ all in all
Then John came in the ninth Inning, and the game was almost done
Then God gave John a vision, and we knew we d already won!
Yes you know Life is a ballgame, being played each day
You know Life is a ballgame, each and everybody can play
Yes You know Jesus is standing at the Home Plate
He s waiting for you there
Well you know Life~ is a Ballgame, but you ve got to play it fair~~~
