He swapped my shirt of sin
	for his 
	of grace,
	of holiness.
My disobedient number He now wears
	with pride,
	while I
	wear his (occasionally
	or not);
I stain it, muddy it,
	but it is
	His,-
	Pure Grace
	that scored and scored again
	against my pride.

I played to Dis-Obey,-
	scored goals against my Self, my Team,-
	but He
	is on our side,
	Full Forward to
	New Life.

Olé is now my cry,
	not tears.

He wears my shirt
	with joy
	and I wear His.

(Reflection on 2 Corinthians 5:21)
