JESUS AND FOOTBALL
(Ryan Nicholson)

He said he thought he was ten feet tall and bullet proof
When the Doctor told him
“Coach, you might be sidelined for a year or two”
Imagine that, a hometown legend down on his knees
No stranger to adversity
Fighting the biggest battle he’d ever seen

So I asked him coach, how’d you tell the team
He said, I walked into that locker room and gave one hell of a pre-game speech

Chorus
We’re gonna send up a prayer and play to win
Fight till the clock runs out
Gonna jump in the trenches
Take it on the chin
Hit back till we leave no doubt
No one comes into our house
And pushes us around
In our veins there’s no weakness
When we've got football and Jesus

He said it was inch by inch, yard by yard, hit & miss
Most days felt like it was 4th and 10
But against all odds, the Good Lord put him back in
So tonight when he takes the field, damn sure he’s gonna soak it up
The lights, the fans, high fives and the hugs
Yeah man, he’s gonna feel the love

He said, the grass looks greener than it’s ever been
Let’s go raise some hell boys, let me tell you again...

Chorus
We’re gonna send up a prayer and play to win
Fight till the clock runs out
Gonna jump in the trenches
Take it on the chin
Hit back till we leave no doubt
No one comes into our house
And pushes us around
In our veins there’s no weakness
When we've got football and Jesus

Bridge
No you can’t lose with a clear head and an open heart
It all starts

CHORUS
When you send up a prayer and play to win
Fight till the clock runs out
When you Jump in the trenches
Take it on the chin
Hit back till you leave no doubt
No one comes into your house
And pushes you around
In your veins there’s no weakness
When you've got football and Jesus
Oh yeah, when you've got football and Jesus
You got football and Jesus
