Nick Of Time lyrics

[ Jeremy Lin]
The biggest thing is to understand that your talent, your ability to play basketball is a gift from God.
I think the biggest thing is to understand that you have to use that for Gods glory.

[Jin]
Yeah I been on my grind
reachin for the top and Youve been on mind
they stready tryin to stop my shine
but its always been Yours its never been mine
You always come thru just in the nick of time
You come thru in the nick of time
You come thru in the nick of time
so I give it up to You everytime I shine

See this if life to me to you its entertainment
its quite intricate and only I can explain it
to say Ive come a long way would be an understatement
the moment of truth every single one is savored
chasing greatness not the pressure that it came with
far from picture perfect observe as I paint it
dealing with the games highs and lows
you win some you lose some yeah I suppose
but when the sweet smell of victory is by my nose
I see whats goin on even when my eyes are closed
guarantee youre not stoppin me or blockin me
all I need is one shot promised youll be shocked to see
the outcome I dont just play to win
everytime I lace up yeah I play for Him
doin my all to make sure that Your glory is known
while they fighting for the title see the King on His throne

Yeah I been on my grind
reachin for the top and Youve been on mind
they stready tryin to stop my shine
but its always been Yours its never been mine
You always come thru just in the nick of time
You come thru in the nick of time
You come thru in the nick of time
so I give it up to You everytime I shine

Yes Im really here to serve You not just pretend to
with each setback I intend to
learn from experience and get better with time
no matter what I achieve none of the credit is mine
in the grand scheme of things Youre the head of design
and in any circumstance You said Ill be fine
the ultimate play maker I follow Your lead
never find need to feed into these naysayers
who repeatedly told me that I would never make
Youre probably testing me to see if I could take it
the bond between us they could never break it
all that You have given me I shall not forsake it
Your grace patience and all of Your love
which one dont I deserve its all the above
where amazing happens I love this game
only one reason Im playing and God is His name

Yeah I been on my grind
reachin for the top and Youve been on mind
they stready tryin to stop my shine
but its always been Yours its never been mine
You always come thru just in the nick of time
You come thru in the nick of time
You come thru in the nick of time
so I give it up to You everytime I shine

[Jeremy Lin]
I think also something that I needed to learn was just because you pray and just because you give it up to God doesnt mean that youre gonna win, and doesnt mean that youre necessarily gonna have a great performance and all that, but I think theres something special about playing the right way and having the right attitude even if you dont necessarily win or have a successful career.
