A Police Officer's Prayer
Lord how I thank you for keeping me safe today
From dodging speeding bullets and cars going the wrong way
The streets are so violent now and some people are blaming us
But when they need our assistance we just listen as they fuss
In the morning when I get up and prepare to do my job
I may end up saving a life or be surrounded by a mob
Lord I need your wisdom in each situation that I face
Let me treat each person with respect regardless of their race
Give me understanding and show me what to do
In every situation may my heart reflect you
Everyday I go to work help me to do my best
Give me strength to do all I can and trust you to do the rest
Amen
