LORD, GIVE ME THE STRENGTH TO HIT THE BALL
AND IF I DO, DON`T LET ME FALL
HELP ME TO PICK THE PITCH THATS RIGHT
THEN LET ME KNOCK IT OUT OF SIGHT
PLEASE 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
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 CLOUDS OF DUST
BUT FIRST OF ALL DEAR LORD I PRAY,
JUST TELL THE COACH TO LET ME PLAY
