The game was tight; the score was tied.
You could hear the tense crowd shout.
With seconds left to make the shot,
The Coach called a time out.
The team consisted of The Church
And it faced the great World Team.
Coach Jesus said, "Let's huddle now,
For this game we will redeem."
They knelt together on the court
For renewed strength from above.
Then Jesus said, "Go get'em now!
This game we've won in love."
"Though the world at times may seem ahead,
We will win the victory.
For I have overcome the world
By my death on Calvary."
The team renewed with joy returned
To complete the shot and win.
The banner "By Christ's Grace Alone"
Declared victory over sin.
