The whistle blows, the stadium is quiet now
Everything changes in a single breath, Lord
I gotta tumor on my brain seems like feels like that me am running Christ insane.
Jesus my number one fan, says
In the first half the game is won
Qualified for the next season which is to be played in heaven
I was standing on the field of all my dreams
Believing that the match would never end
But then the sky turned into shades of grey
And silence replaced the roar of the crowd
I see the card held high, a flash of red
A sudden stillness where my heart used to beat
I thought we had more time to play the game
But the season's over, and I'm walking off alone
In the game we are playing there is a red card pulled when I was playing for keeps
I’m looking up at the clouds as the stadium fades
Trying to find the grace in the mess we made
Yes Lord, it’s finished, the game is called
Standing in the light, feeling so small
Oh, the whistle blows, and it’s time to go
Into the silence that only You know
I’m tracing shadows where you used to stand
Trying to make sense of the empty seats
The grass is cold beneath my weary feet
And the echoes of the cheers turn into sighs
I never saw the foul, I never felt the change
But heaven sent the sign and closed the gate
I’m leaving behind the jersey and the fame
Just me and the Author of this heavy fate
It’s the rapture of a love that had to leave
A red card pulled when I was playing for keeps
I’m looking up at the clouds as the stadium fades
Trying to find the grace in the mess we made
Yes Lord, it’s finished, the game is called
Standing in the light, feeling so small
Oh, the whistle blows, and it’s time to go
Into the silence that only You know
Glory, glory, even in the letting go
Thank You Jesus, for the things I’ll never know
Sometimes the heartbreak is the path to the sky
Sometimes the goodbye is the final cry
Praise Him in the ruins, praise Him in the dark
He’s the only one who can heal this broken mark
The floodlights flicker out one by one
The game is truly over, the race is run
I’m walking toward the tunnel, shedding my pride
With nothing but a heavy heart left inside
But there’s a peace that passes every understanding
A soft hand guiding where I’m finally landing
Hallelujah, I’m letting go of the ball
I’m answering the Master’s final call
It’s the rapture of a love that had to leave
A red card pulled when I was playing for keeps
I’m looking up at the clouds as the stadium fades
Trying to find the grace in the mess we made
Yes Lord, it’s finished, the game is called
Standing in the light, feeling so small
Oh, the whistle blows, and it’s time to go
Into the silence that only You know
Amen, the match is done
I’m looking to the setting sun
Glory to the One who stays
When the stadium fades away
Amen.
