The Football Song by Zoli Althea Browne Lyrics
The Football Song: Only God Can Pick It Up
Only God can pick it up, let it go this time
Only God takes it down to the line
Only Christ’s sacrifice heals a world of sin
When your soul is the goal to win
When the pain of life’s upon you from beginning to the end Seems your family’s deserted you, you cannot find a friend If the path that you have chosen leads you nowhere good or kind
Then perhaps it’s time to give it up and lay it on the line
Times like these can crush a weakened soul or forge a mighty sword
Will the enemy defeat you now, or can you trust the Lord?
When He presses you to grow and change, to become a better man
Pass the ball to the Mighty One who always knows the plan
Only God can pick it up, let it go this time
Only God can take it down to the line
Only Christ’s sacrifice heals a world of sin
When your soul is the goal to win
If the darkness rushes in and you’re too weak to hold he ball You drop it in the chaos, fearing now you’ve lost it all
As the enemy approaches see the light of Christ prevail
Then your strength returns with all you’ve learned, with Him you’ll never fail
Pick it up now with Jesus’ arms, take it to the goal and win
Pick it up with the knowledge that He died for all your sins
Pick it up with the promise that together He and you
Win the game on His name because the love He gives is true
Only God can pick it up, let it go this time
Only God takes it down to the line
Only Christ’s sacrifice heals a world of sin
When your soul is the goal to win
Only God can pick it up, let it go this time
Only God takes it down to the line
Only Christ’s sacrifice heals a world of sin
When your soul is the goal to win
When the pain of life’s upon you from beginning to the end Seems your family’s deserted you, you cannot find a friend If the path that you have chosen leads you nowhere good or kind
Then perhaps it’s time to give it up and lay it on the line
Times like these can crush a weakened soul or forge a mighty sword
Will the enemy defeat you now, or can you trust the Lord?
When He presses you to grow and change, to become a better man
Pass the ball to the Mighty One who always knows the plan
Only God can pick it up, let it go this time
Only God can take it down to the line
Only Christ’s sacrifice heals a world of sin
When your soul is the goal to win
If the darkness rushes in and you’re too weak to hold he ball You drop it in the chaos, fearing now you’ve lost it all
As the enemy approaches see the light of Christ prevail
Then your strength returns with all you’ve learned, with Him you’ll never fail
Pick it up now with Jesus’ arms, take it to the goal and win
Pick it up with the knowledge that He died for all your sins
Pick it up with the promise that together He and you
Win the game on His name because the love He gives is true
Only God can pick it up, let it go this time
Only God takes it down to the line
Only Christ’s sacrifice heals a world of sin
When your soul is the goal to win
