God’s Tennis Court
Is meant only for those
Who like to play all the time
Surrender-game.

 I go to God twice a day.
In the morning, I go to my Beloved Supreme
With the surrender of a tennis ball.
He tells me I am on my way to perfection.
In the evening, I go to my Beloved Supreme
With a basket of gratitude-flowers.
He tells me I am all perfection.


I play tennis every day
To join my Lord’s Vision-Play.
I am the surrender-ball:
All joy in a body small.
Tennis, tennis, tennis game,
My heart’s perfection-flame.I-play-tennis-every-day-song-score-crp_Page_1
