A Work in Progress- Forgoing Sports for a Mission- Giving His Best Shot

Parable of the Freethrow Line- Tyler Haws

It is in the doing
That goals do not fade
Through endless freethrowing
The best is displayed

You can make history
Through hours of labor
But for whom goes the glory
Without the Savior?

Presented with a great shot
He knew this was one to make
Thus, a mission life was sought
As precious souls were at stake

I am a work in progress
To himself, he oft says
Thus he would keep his promise
Made in childhood days

Being one to labor
Having vision, to give his best shot
He'd represent the Savior
On a mission, and give it all he's got

[Verse 1] It is in the doing That goals do not fade Through endless freethrowing The best is displayed You can make history Through hours of labor But for whom goes the glory Without the Savior? [Pre-Chorus] Presented with a great shot He knew this was one to make Thus, a mission life was sought As precious souls were at stake [Chorus] On a mission On a mission Give it all he's got On a mission On a mission He'd represent the Savior [Verse 2] I am a work in progress To himself, he oft says Thus he would keep his promise Made in childhood days Being one to labor Having vision, to give his best shot He'd represent the Savior On a mission, and give it all he's got [Chorus] On a mission On a mission Give it all he's got On a mission On a mission He'd represent the Savior [Bridge] Hours on the floor And knees in prayer No empty applause Can take him there Precious souls ahead A call rings clear He keeps the promise Year by year [Final Chorus] On a mission On a mission Give it all he's got On a mission On a mission He'd represent the Savior On a mission On a mission Give it all he's got
