Softball Player's Prayer
Lord give me the strength to hit the ball
and if I do, don't let me fall.
Help me to pick the pitch that's right
then let me knock it right out of sight.
Then let me run with deer-like grace
don't let me miss, but tag first base.
Then go to second, stay with me, Lord.
Cause this one out, we can't afford.
Then let me zoom like a flying bird
right down the line and onto third.
Then let me slide with feet out-thrust
Across home plate in the swishing dust.
BUT MOST OF ALL DEAR LORD I PRAY,
JUST TELL THE COACH TO LET ME PLAY!
