YESHIVA AND THE FOOTBALL GAME

YESHIVA AND THE FOOTBALL GAME

(A Spiritual version of College Football U.S.A.)

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
