Firefighters prayer
firefighter payer
Whenever called to duty, whether sleeping or awake,
and hear those chilling tones go off, my heart will always quake.
Although I love my job, and have learned much from the past,
in my mind on every call, "I hope its not my last."
I always try to fight my fires, with all my courage and much strife,
and hope and pray to God above, that I can save a life.
I've seen a lot of pain and death, in my still young career,
and every house that I see burn, will forever bring me tears.
Every person that I protect is a responsibility,
and when they cry out for my help, I give the best in me.
I know someday when fighting fire, that my luck just might run out,
and I hope to God, when out of air, that someone pulls me out.
I pray that when I'm dead and gone, no longer fighting fire,
someone comes in, picks up my gear, and follows my desire.
"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."--John 15:13

i wish the original one had the phrase about picking up my gear and following my desire. the job of firefighter is a job of service and the prayer brings that out.
