The Ball Game - Sister Wynona Carr

This song by Sister Wynona Carr was played at the end of the new Jackie Robinson movie, “42.“ It can be found on her “Dragnet For Jesus“ album and also on the movie’s soundtrack. The lyrics: Life is a ballgame Bein’ played each day Life is a ballgame Everybody can play Jesus is standin’ at home plate Waitin’ for you there Life is a ballgame, but You’ve got to play it fair. First base is temptation, The second base is sin Third base tribulation If you pass you can make it in Ol’ man Solomon is the umpire And Satan is pitchin the game He’ll do his best to strike you out Keep playin’ just the same. Daniel was the first to bat You know he prayed three times a day When Satan threw him a fast ball You know he hit it anyway Job came in the next inning Satan struck him in every way, But job he hit a home run And came on in that day. Prayer will be your strong bat To hit at Satan’s ball And when you start to swing it You’ve got to give it your all in all Faith will be your catche
