Message From Chief David Brown

Lord I come before you with a very heavy heart
I've got so much on my plate I don't know where to start
Since we lost five brothers our hearts are very sore
We've increased security and pray it won't happen anymore
There is so much hatred against the one who killed our men
But he is now gone for good and we won't see him again
As the police chief of this town I've got great responsibility
Yet I pray you'd give me wisdom as so many count on me
Thank you for your protection your mercy and your grace
Help us to work together to make Dallas a great place
Amen

Written in honor of Police Chief David Brown of Dallas TX
