' Glory in the Goals' A Tribute to Noni Madueke the Arsenal and England forward

Описание: 'Glory in the Goals'
From the streets where the dream first woke,
A young boy danced where the floodlights broke,
With a fire in his feet and a prayer in his soul,
Chasing more than a game—he was chasing a goal.

Through every trial, every test he faced,
He carried a light no night could erase,
With the heart of a lion, yet gentle and meek,
That’s the beauty you see in Noni Madueke.

Step by step on the emerald field,
Faith his armour, the Word his shield,
He moves with grace, he runs with truth,
Power and purpose in his youth.

Oh, when he scores, he lifts his eyes,
Pointing to Heaven beyond the skies,
Not for the fame, not for the gold,
But for the love his Saviour told.
With every cheer, with every roar,
He bows his heart on the stadium floor,
Saying, “Lord, this moment’s Yours,”
All the glory forevermore.

Defenders fall when he shifts his pace,
Lightning quick with elegant grace,
A stepover sharp, a fearless drive,
Making the crowd and the dream alive.

But greater still than the skill he brings,
Is the humble song his spirit sings,
For every victory, every win,
He knows where the strength is flowing from within.

Not by might and not by name,
Not for statues, not for fame,
But by grace that carried him,
Through every loss and every hymn.

Oh, when he scores, he lifts his eyes,
Pointing to Heaven beyond the skies,
Not for the fame, not for the gold,
But for the love his Saviour told.
With every cheer, with every roar,
He bows his heart on the stadium floor,
Saying, “Lord, this moment’s Yours,”
All the glory forevermore.

In the spotlight, standing tall,
Still the servant through it all,
Kneeling where the bright lights blaze,
Turning triumph into praise.
From grass-stained knees to grateful tears,
Faith has conquered doubt and fears,
A testimony bold and true—
Let every heart be pointed too.

When he scores, the heavens sing,
Not just for the goal, but the offering,
A grateful heart in victory’s flame,
Giving Jesus all the name.
Through every match, come loss or win,
His greatest crown is found within,
A humble star the world can see—
Faith, and football, in harmony.

So let the stadium lights applaud,
But he’ll always raise it up to God,
For talent shines, but faith endures—
And the truest victory is always Yours.
