Nick Of Time Lyrics

Jin

[ 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 GodÂ's glory.

[Jin]
Yeah I been on my grind
reachinÂ' for the top and YouÂ've been on mind
they stready tryinÂ' to stop my shine
but itÂ's 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 itÂ's entertainment
its quite intricate and only I can explain it
to say IÂ've 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 goinÂ' on even when my eyes are closed
guarantee youÂ're not stoppinÂ' me or blockinÂ' me
all I need is one shot promised youÂ'll be shocked to see
the outcome I donÂ't just play to win
everytime I lace up yeah I play for Him
doinÂ' 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
reachinÂ' for the top and YouÂ've been on mind
they stready tryinÂ' to stop my shine
but itÂ's 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 IÂ'm 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 YouÂ're the head of design
and in any circumstance You said IÂ'll 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
YouÂ're 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 donÂ't I deserve itÂ's all the above
where amazing happens I love this game
only one reason IÂ'm playing and God is His name

Yeah I been on my grind
reachinÂ' for the top and YouÂ've been on mind
they stready tryinÂ' to stop my shine
but itÂ's 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 doesnÂ't mean that youÂ're gonna win, and doesnÂ't mean that youÂ're necessarily gonna have a great performance and all that, but I think thereÂ's something special about playing the right way and having the right attitude even if you donÂ't necessarily win or have a successful career.
