In the game of life, we all play our part,
United by one God, searchin' for our heart.
Many players on the field, each one got a role,
Strikers, defenders, keepers—everybody got a goal,
Some take yellow cards, some take red,
Some play it clean, some filled with dread,
Penalty kicks and corner shots,
Some convert their chances, some got naught,
Every player got opportunity,
But only some can truly see,
How to use the gift they're given,
How to play, how to be livin'.
In the game of life, hallelujah, praise Him,
Winners celebrate, losers learn to face Him,
One God, one ball, one world unified,
Some with trophies, some with tears they cried,
Yes Lord, injuries come, relegation too,
But glory waits for those who stay true,
In the game of life, amen, amen.
Some become celebrities on the pitch so bright,
Some retire empty-handed, full of regret and might,
Clubs and owners, fans and crews,
Referees and coaches with the news,
Camera rolling, world stands still,
For one leather ball—God's perfect will,
Winners rise and losers fall,
But one God watches over all,
Thank You Jesus for the game we play,
Guide our steps along the way.
In the game of life, hallelujah, praise Him,
Winners celebrate, losers learn to face Him,
One God, one ball, one world unified,
Some with trophies, some with tears they cried,
Yes Lord, injuries come, relegation too,
But glory waits for those who stay true,
In the game of life, amen, amen.
In the game of life, one God above,
United by one ball, united by His love.
