[00:01.13] The Ball Game - Sister Wynona Carr
[00:11.41] Life is a ball game
[00:14.19]
[00:14.83] Bein played each day
[00:16.55]
[00:18.25] Life is a ball game
[00:20.44]
[00:21.70] Everybody can play
[00:23.07]
[00:23.66] Yes you know, Jesus standing at the home plate
[00:27.93] He is waiting for you there
[00:30.95] You know the life is a ball game
[00:34.18] But you've got to play it fast
[00:37.54]
[00:38.27] The first phase is temptation
[00:40.44]
[00:40.99] You know the second phase is sin
[00:44.27]
[00:45.09] The third phase tribulation
[00:47.31]
[00:47.86] If you pass, you can make it in
[00:50.82] Old man Solomon is the umpire
[00:54.90] And Satan pitchin' a game
[00:57.39]
[00:58.20] He'll do his best, strike you out
[01:01.32] He playin' just the same
[01:04.13]
[01:05.06] You know Daniel's up to bat first
[01:08.59] You know he pray three times a day
[01:11.76] Yes Satan pitched him a fast ball
[01:15.40] But he hit it anyway
[01:18.38] Yes you know, Job is up to bat next
[01:21.40]
[01:22.16] Satan's struck him in every way
[01:25.33] But Job hit a home run
[01:28.84] And he came on in that day
[01:31.86] Yes you know, prayer is a strong bat
[01:35.07]
[01:36.41] To hit at Satan's ball
[01:39.22] And when you start to swing it
[01:42.14]
[01:42.69] You got to give it your all and all
[01:45.71] Yes you know, the priest gonna be your catcher
[01:48.95]
[01:49.61] And on him you can depend
[01:52.20]
[01:53.06] Oh Jesus standing at the home plate
[01:56.46] And He is waiting for you to come in
[01:59.26] Yes you know, Moses is on the sidelines
[02:02.78]
[02:03.89] Waiting to be called
[02:06.54] You know, the day he parted the Red Sea
[02:10.10] Little price all and all
[02:13.19]
[02:13.73] Then John came in the ninth inning
[02:16.38]
[02:16.94] And the game was almost done
[02:20.25] Then God gave John a vision
[02:23.81] And he knew we'd already won
[02:26.90] Yes you know life is a ball game
[02:30.33]
[02:31.66] Being played each day
[02:33.67]
[02:34.54] You know life is a ball game
[02:37.64]
[02:38.17] Each and everybody can play
[02:41.20] Yes you know, Jesus is standing at the home plate
[02:44.26]
[02:44.80] He is waiting for you there
[02:47.86] Well you know, life is a ball game
[02:51.73] But you've got to play it fast
