Cricket |
Some people say that life is a game, well if this is so |
I’d like to know the rules on which this game of life is based |
I know of no game more fitting than the age old game of cricket |
It has honour, it has character and it’s British |
Now God laid down the rules of life when he wrote those Ten Commandments |
And to cricket those ten same rules shall apply |
Show compassion and self-righteousness and be honest above all |
And come to God’s call with bat and ball |
Now the Devil has a player and he’s called the Demon Bowler |
He’s shrewd, he’s rude and he’s wicked |
He is sent by Sinful Satan and he’s out to take your wicket |
And you know that that’s not cricket |
He’ll baffle you with googlies with leg breaks and offspin |
But keep a level head and don’t let that demon in |
So keep a straight bat at all times, let the Bible be your guide |
And you’ll get by, yes you’ll get by |
All through your life he’ll try to bowl you out |
Beware the Demon bowler |
He’s crafty and deceitful and he’ll try to L.B.W., |
And bowl a maiden over |
The Devil takes the weak in spirit and so we must always be courageous |
And remember that God is on your side |
So keep old Satan in your sights and play the straight and narrow line |
And you’ll get by, yes you’ll get by |
