Checkmate
Verse 1
You’re like a chess piece
The pawn so frail and small
Others trying to kill you
But God won’t let you fall
Verse 2
Sometimes theirs a checkmate
It seems like theirs no hope
Then he makes it to the other side
And he trades him for your soul
Verse 3
You’re in the life game again
Then another boulder appears
You hide in a corner praying
Then Jesus lifts you and makes it clear
Verse 4
Finally the game is over
You are alive and well
The battle scars won’t leave you
But that’s ok and swell
Verse 5
More battles will cross your path
Sometimes you may fall
But Jesus will always lift you
He won’t let you crawl
Chorus
The bible is your rule book
Leading you through the game
Sometimes you find a hook
But you get out of the frame
The blocks on the chess board
Are each a human trouble strong
So many in your life
But none to big for God
Bridge
Theirs always a checkmate
There is no hope
Then God makes it a soulmate
He lifts you up
