YESHIVA AND THE FOOTBALL GAME
It was the very last game of
the season
For Yeshiva College's blue
and white
They were playing Messiah
College
Whose players all walk in
God's Light
It has been a long time
rivalry
Since the first time that
they met
Each trying to prove who's
really right
But Yeshiva College has not
won yet
They played each other very
tough
As the first half came to a
close
Then the rabbis gave their
pep talk
What they said Go only knows
The score remained zero-zero
as
The Final minutes were
fleeting by
Then Messiah College kicked a
field goal
And the home crowd breathed
with a sigh
Yeshiva's halfback took the final
kickoff
And behind his blockers he
began to run
Evading tackles and scoring a
touchdown but
It was not over yet for the
saga had just begun
"Hooray for the football
hero," he thought
"The man who had saved
Yeshiva's day"
Then as he turned toward the
cheering crowd
He know that he had run the
opposite way
Quite obviously he and his teammates
still did not get it
For if they had accepted
Yeshua who died for their sins
It would not have mattered
what the final score was because
By professing Him as their
Jewish Messiah everybody wins
