Lord...

Grant me the wisdom so that I may treat

Those of your children that lay at my feet.

Let my hands be gentle, sure and swift

To impart to them your sacred gift.

Let me see only a patient's need

Not their color, race or creed.

Help me always to be my best

Even when it's on my hours rest.

Grant me the insight to understand why

Patients of mine are going to die.

Let me remember that when they do

There is a wonderful life in heaven with you.

Lord, if in the time of duty I should fall

Help my family to hold their heads tall.

For it was You who decided that I should be

One of your chosen few, an EMT.
